Rechtsmittelobliegenheit

German to English Law/Patents Law (general) EU Law on Recognition of foreign judgments
Eine ausdrückliche Rechtsmittelobliegenheit erlegt nur Art. 34 Nr. 2 Brüssel l-VO dem sich auf einen Mangel rechtlichen Gehörs im verfahrenseinleitenden Stadium berufenden Bekl. auf. Der BGH nimmt eine solche Rechtsmittelobliegenheit mit manchen Stimmen im Schrifttum grundsätzlich auch bei Verstößen gegen den verfahrensrechtlichen ordre public an. Dies erscheint ebenfalls fraglich: Die Rechtsmittelobliegenheit in Art. 34 Nr. 2 Brüssel l-VO ist Ergebnis einer streitigen Reformdiskussion und beschränkt die Rechtsprechung des EuGH zu Art. 27 Nr. 2 Brüssel I-Übk, die eine solche Obliegenheit verneint hatte. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist das Fehlen einer vergleichbaren Einschränkung in Art. 34 Nr. 1 Brüssel l-VO eher e contrario denn in Analogie argumentierend zu verstehen.

I interpret this to mean the defendant is obliged to exhaust legal remedies in the Member State of origin but I would like some confirmation...

obligation to exhaust legal remedies

The doctrine of exhaustion of remedies prevents a litigant from seeking a remedy in a new court or jurisdiction until all claims or remedies have been exhausted (pursued as fully as possible) in the original one. The doctrine was originally created by case law based on the principles of comity.

agree Andrea Muller (X) : I think in asker's context it's seeking remedy in a new jurisdiction, so I would put domestic or internal remedies

Obligation to execute legal remedies

In principle, I agree with you; but an obligation to execute legal remedies only makes sense in case the relevant legal remedies are favourable for the defendant.
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : right idea, but one doesn't "execute" remedies

obligatory remedy at law / obligation to seek legal recourse

Difficult source ... ;-)

.... an express obligation to seek remedies at law is only imposed by ...

would be my take on this.
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : I think it's more than just seeking, rather a matter of fully using ("exhausting")
