Episode 19 – UPC UNFILTERED
A packed week of UPC rulings, including:
Revocation (Paris – Sibio v Abbott): Patent upheld after full review on added matter, novelty, and inventive step. General prior-art references are insufficient — grounds must be set out for each claim.
Enforcement (Düsseldorf – Fuji v Kodak): Escalating daily penalties for non-compliance with an injunction. No prior warning or translation required before enforcement.
Procedural lessons: Poorly framed auxiliary requests can unintentionally narrow a patent. Withdrawing an appeal can revive a patent previously declared invalid.
