New arguments submitted late in the proceedings may be disregarded to uphold the front-loaded procedure (R. 9.2 RoP)
✓
The court has the discretion to declare inadmissible new non-infringement arguments and evidence that a defendant introduces for the first time in its Rejoinder.
Defendants must present all grounds for non-infringement in their initial Statement of Defence (R. 24 RoP)
✓
This principle is rooted in the RoP Preamble’s objectives of efficiency and fairness. Introducing new arguments in the final written submission contravenes the UPC’s front-loaded procedural framework.
Late filing is only justified if it responds to genuinely new arguments from the claimant
✓
The court found the claimant’s interpretation in its Reply was consistent with its initial Statement of Claim, so there were no grounds to justify the defendant’s late submission.
