UPC Board of Appeal: Security for Costs
The principles underlying the provision on the requirement to provide security for costs in Article 69(4) of the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court apply equally to proceedings at first instance and on appeal. A party may rely on Rule 158 of the Rules of Procedure and Rule 222.2 of the Rules of Procedure to request that the Court of Appeal order the other party to provide adequate security for legal costs and other expenses incurred and/or to be incurred by the requesting party in the appeal proceedings (Unified Patent Court, 26 August 2024, Court of Appeal 328/2024).
