Unwired Planet International Ltd v Huawei Technologies Co Ltd & Ors [2015] EWHC 1198 (Pat) (5 May 2015)

The same rationale for setting a date for amendment applications applies to all three patents, including EP (UK) 2 229 744, as they are all European patents subject to central amendment. The order should set a clear date for service and not include wording that prejudges future amendment applications.
