Brodrene Hartmann - UPC_CFI_377/2024
notable
Düsseldorf LD dismissed infringement and partially granted revocation counterclaim for egg packaging patent. Two headnote holdings: (1) priority standard (Art. 87 EPC "same invention") = added matter standard (Art. 123(2) EPC) — directly and unambiguously derivable; (2) material selection from limited range of known suitable alternatives is not inventive. Patent maintained in amended form.
