- Resultado
- Interim orders continued through trial; further order granted; objection dismissed; costs to claimant.
- Resumen
- All three statutory conditions were met on a prima facie record. Existing orders were made absolute and an additional order issued; some requests overlapping final relief were deferred. Objection dismissed and EUR 6,718.20 plus VAT costs awarded, reduced for counsel's noncompliance.
- Antecedentes
- Beresnev claimed ownership and exploitation rights in the Race Master 3D-Car Racing mobile game and alleged that publisher Saygames and collaborators prepared the NRG Real Speed clone, planned to copy the first 50 levels and monetize the existing user base after removing the original. The alleged loss exceeded EUR 2 million.
- Historia procesal
- Claim and ex parte application filed 17 October 2024; orders issued 21 October; defendants filed 37 grounds of opposition on 25 November; statement of claim filed 7 January 2025; inter partes decision 30 April 2025.
- Cuestión jurídica
- Whether section 32's serious issue, visible chance and inadequacy-of-later-justice requirements justified preserving restraints over exploitation, cloning, transfer and the user database.
- Criterio
- All three statutory conditions were met on a prima facie record. Existing orders were made absolute and an additional order issued; some requests overlapping final relief were deferred. Objection dismissed and EUR 6,718.20 plus VAT costs awarded, reduced for counsel's noncompliance.
- Fundamento decisivo
- Visible similarity, communications about copying levels and data, continued promotional spending after termination, and refusal to answer clone allegations supplied a visible prospect, while damages were inadequate to protect ongoing IP and market control. The analysis remained expressly preliminary.
- Límites
- No GenAI was alleged. No final holding on originality, ownership, cloning or database right; no registration effect.
