PANEL/DIVISION
Panel 2 of the Local Division Munich

DECIDING JUDGE
This order has been issued by Presiding Judge Ulrike Voß as Judge-Rapporteur.

LANGUAGE OF THE PROCEEDINGS
English

SUBJECT-MATTER OF THE PROCEEDINGS
R 262.1 (b) RoP – Invitation to comment – R 9.3 RoP – Time extension

REASONS OF THE ORDER
The request for an extension of the deadline of 30 July 2025 is granted in accordance with
Rule 9.3 (a) RoP insofar as the deadline for submitting comments is extended until 12 August
2025. This date takes into account the upcoming holidays of the court. The reason for the
extension of the deadline is the absence of the Claimant's representatives. In order to ensure
that the parties are not subject to different time limits in these proceedings, the newly set
deadline applies equally to both parties.
As a precautionary measure, please note the following: In the cases in which the Applicant
wishes to have access, the parties involved requested that a number of information be treated
as confidential, in accordance with Rule 262.2 RoP, when submitting their written statements
and exhibits. These requests have been granted. As the Applicant has only filed an application
under Rule 262.1(b) RoP, access can only initially be granted to the redacted versions sub-
mitted by the parties with their written submissions and exhibits, in which the confidential in-
formation has been blacked out. Renewed applications for protection of confidentiality with
regard to the written submissions and exhibits filed within the framework of a Rule 262.1 b
application are not permitted. Protection of confidential information must be requested when
the respective written submission and exhibits are filed. However, subsequent correction or
review of the written submissions and exhibits filed is not possible in the pending application.

ORDER
The deadline for comments on the request pursuant to Rule 262.1 (b) RoP is extended for
both parties until 12 August 2025.
