landmark
Companion case to UPC_CFI_448/2024 (node_id 159529) — same judgment text. The Munich LD dismissed the infringement action entirely. While the defendant's sintering pastes technically fall within the patent claims, all demonstrated acts in Germany were covered by a prior use right under § 12 PatG / Art. 28 UPCA. The defendant's pre-priority-date use of silver flakes that inherently produced the patented parameter established the right. Since the German acts were lawful, they could not found cross-border enforcement via Art. 34 UPCA.
