UPC Court of Appeal Shifts Focus to Germany
We recently reported on the UPC’s decision to hear the Nokia v Mala case, regardless of parallel German proceedings pending for the same patent. Interestingly, the UPC Court of Appeal has reacted quickly with a different view. This update is reported here.
Your Court or Mine? UPC takes home advantage
Nokia filed two separate revocation actions challenging Mala’s EP 2 044 709 patent, valid only in Germany. The first was filed on 29 April 2021 in the German Federal Patent Court but was unsuccessful, as the patent was upheld (appeal pending). The second was filed on 15 December 2023 in the Unified Patent Court (UPC). This article focuses on Mala’s objection to the UPC's jurisdiction, in which they argued that since a revocation action was already ongoing in Germany, the UPC should reject Nokia’s action as inadmissible.
The Federal Circuit clarifies conflicts arising between Patent Term Adjustment and Obviousness-type Double Patenting
We perceive a sigh of relief from some patent holders following issue of the US Federal Circuit’s decision in Allergan USA v. MSN Labs, 24-1061 (Fed. Cir. August 13, 2014) (“Allergan”). This decision appears to forestall the revocation of some patents following the concerning precedential Federal Circuit decision In re Cellect (No. 22-1293) (“Cellect”).
