There's a double blog-post on the IPKat (here and here) on Actavis v Boehringer [2013] EWHC 2927, a Patents Court, England and Wales, decision from the recently-promoted Mr Justice Birss which was handed down last month but which is still not available in the BAILII databank. The first post gives a brief background and deals with the four further questions that have been referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union for preliminary rulings, while the second deals with an important practical issue: the scope of a cross-undertaking where the alleged infringer has agreed to keep a product covered by the disputed SPC off market pending the full trial.
The IPKat is hosting the full text of this decision for your convenience: you can read it here.
A niche blog dedicated to the issues that arise when supplementary protection certificates (SPCs) extend patents beyond their normal life -- and to the respective positions of patent owners, investors, competitors and consumers. The blog also addresses wider issues that may be of interest or use to those involved in the extension of patent rights. You can email The SPC Blog here
