Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the plaintiff submitted to Swiss jurisdiction by participating in an editions proceeding and settlement talks concerning the counterclaim.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Participation in a separate pre-main-proceedings editions procedure and settlement discussions did not amount to an unequivocal submission to hear the counterclaim on the merits.
Extrahierte Begründung
Submission under Art. 6 IPRG requires an unambiguous manifestation of willingness to litigate the merits before the seized court. Conduct before the counterclaim was filed, or in a procedurally separate proceeding, is irrelevant; the plaintiff's conduct could also be explained by procedural necessity and pre-trial evidence preservation.
