Zusammenfassung in einfacher Sprache

Headwater Research LLC brought an infringement action against Samsung entities regarding EP 3 110 069 B1 (device-assisted services for protecting network capacity). Samsung's counterclaim for revocation succeeded and the patent was revoked as to claim 1, causing the infringement action to be dismissed. The court also issued important procedural guidance, rejecting Headwater's attempt to introduce a new added-matter argument based on different passages of a document already in the proceedings, finding it incompatible with the front-loaded procedure required by the Rules of Procedure.

Zurückgewiesene Argumente
Was das Gericht nicht akzeptiert hat — und warum.

  • New line of arguments on added matter based on different passages of a lengthy document should be admitted

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Rule 9.2 RoP

    Begründung: The court rejected the new added-matter argument under Rule 9.2 RoP because the issue had been raised from the outset but the new argument relied on entirely different passages of a lengthy document, undermining the front-loaded procedure; neither the court nor the other party could be forced to deal with it from scratch.
