  (Nederlands) 1. Waar artikel 2(2) Scale of Recoverable Costs doelt op een aanpassing van het toepasselijke plafond van de terugvorderbare kosten “in the event that the requesting party is unsuccessful”, dient het Gerecht dit artikel eveneens in aanmerking te nemen bij het beoordelen van een verzoek tot zekerheid aangezien in dergelijke beoordeling het Gerecht er ab initio van uitgaat dat de “ the requesting party .. unsuccessful” zal zijn (cf. Art. 69(4) UPCA “may be liable to bear”). 2. De waarde van het geschil wordt definitief bepaald in het kader van de Interim Conference (cf. R. 104 (i) RoP juncto R. 370.6 RoP). Een beoordeling omtrent de waarde van het geschil in het licht van de beoordeling tot een verzoek tot zekerheid is voorlopig in die zin dat deze noch het Gerecht noch de Judge-Rapporteur bindt bij de definitieve bepaling van de waarde van het geschil dan wel de bepaling van het plafond (m.i.v. de wijze waarop dit plafond werd ingevuld). (Engels) 1. Whilst Article 2(2) of the Scale of Recoverable Costs provides for an adjustment to the applicable ceiling on recoverable costs “in the event that the requesting party is unsuccessful”, the Court must also take this provision into account when assessing an application for security, since in such an assessment the Court assumes ab initio that the “requesting party ... will be unsuccessful” (cf. Article 69(4) of the UPCA “may be liable to bear”). 2. The value of the dispute is definitively determined in the context of the Interim Conference (see R.104(i) of RoP in conjunction with R. 370.6 RoP). An assessment of the value of the dispute in the context of an assessment regarding an application for security is provisional in the sense that it is not binding on either the Court or the Judge-Rapporteur when it comes to the final determination of the value of the claim or the setting of the ceiling (including the manner in which that ceiling was calculated).

  - A rapid decision on a request to change the language of the proceedings benefits both parties and to the case management. As a general principle, further submissions that are not foreseen by R. 323.2 should therefore not be considered. - In assessing the interests of the parties for deciding on an Application pursuant to R. 323 RoP, the fact that English is predominantly used in the field of the technology in question and the ensuing advantage to conduct the dispute in this language, do not outweigh the relevance of particular circumstances relating to the respective size and domicile of the companies involved.
