  Zusammenfassung: Decision on the merits by Paris Local Division (4 July 2024). EP 3 435 866 B1 (analyte monitoring / continuous glucose monitoring system) was entirely revoked for lack of inventive step; auxiliary requests 1 and 2 were also invalid (added subject-matter). DexCom's infringement action was dismissed in full. DexCom was ordered to bear costs. The court addressed jurisdiction on the revocation counterclaim, the carve-out under Art. 83 UPCA, claim interpretation, novelty and inventiveness.

  Zusammenfassung: The Paris Local Division full panel issued a procedural order in the Dexcom v. Abbott infringement case, rejecting Abbott's request for leave to appeal the judge-rapporteur's confidentiality order of 19 December 2023, finding it was a case management order subject to Rule 333 RoP review rather than a directly appealable order.
