  Respondent:

  bellissa HAAS GmbH

  (i) In proceedings before the UPC, it is not sufficient for the party’s representative to log into the Case Management System (CMS) using a secure two-factor authentication process, which constitutes a strong multi-factor authentication mechanism, and thereby confirms their identity. All written pleadings must be signed. In the absence of such a signature, the written pleading lodged in the CMS does not satisfy the requirements for a valid lodging. (ii) It follows that a document lodged as a Statement of appeal which has not been duly signed cannot be regarded and accepted as a Statement of appeal lodged pursuant to Rule 224 RoP. (iii) The presence of the signature required under Rule 4.1 RoP on the Statement of appeal to be lodged electronically does not form part of the examination as to formal requirements under Rule 229 RoP.
