Article R411-37 of the French Intellectual Property Code

On pain of inadmissibility, which is raised ex officio, the parties must present all their substantive claims in the submissions referred to in articles R. 411-29, R. 411-30 and R. 411-32. Inadmissibility may also be raised by the party against whom subsequent submissions are made.

However, when the Court of Appeal is seised of an appeal lodged pursuant to the second paragraph of article R. 411-19, submissions intended to reply to the opposing submissions and documents or to have questions ruled upon which have arisen, subsequent to the first submissions, from the intervention of a third party or from the occurrence or revelation of a fact remain admissible.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R411-37

A peine d’irrecevabilité, relevée d’office, les parties doivent présenter, dès les conclusions mentionnées aux articles R. 411-29, R. 411-30 et R. 411-32, l’ensemble de leurs prétentions sur le fond. L’irrecevabilité peut également être invoquée par la partie contre laquelle sont formées des prétentions ultérieures.

Toutefois, lorsque la cour d’appel est saisie d’un recours formé en application du second alinéa de l’article R. 411-19, demeurent recevables les prétentions destinées à répliquer aux conclusions et pièces adverses ou à faire juger les questions nées, postérieurement aux premières conclusions, de l’intervention d’un tiers ou de la survenance ou de la révélation d’un fait.
