Avago Technologies sued Tesla entities for infringement of EP 1838002 B1 (a programmable hybrid transmitter patent) before the Munich Local Division. Tesla counterclaimed for revocation, arguing the patent was anticipated by prior art document D3. The court found claims 1 and 7 (and all dependent claims) fully anticipated by D3, revoked the patent for Germany, and dismissed the infringement action. Avago's auxiliary request to amend claim 1 to clarify that all three outputs are produced simultaneously was rejected as not introducing any substantive additional restriction.
EP 1838002 is anticipated (lacks novelty) over prior art document D3
BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: Art. 138(1)(a) EPC; Art. 54 EPC; Art. 65(2) UPCAHinweis: Munich Local Division found claims 1 and 7 (and dependent claims) of EP 1838002 B1 (programmable hybrid transmitter) fully anticipated by D3; patent revoked for Germany.
Auxiliary request to amend claim 1 to require all three outputs (normalized complex signal, offset information, and transmit property information) simultaneously
KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Rule 30 RoP; Art. 65(3) UPCABegründung: The proposed amendment (feature 1.1.2bis) introduced no additional restriction on the claim scope because the original claim, properly construed, already required all three outputs; amendment therefore did not overcome the anticipation finding.
Tesla's vehicles infringe EP 1838002 (programmable hybrid transmitter patent)
KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 65(2) UPCABegründung: Infringement action dismissed due to invalidity of patent; whether infringement would have existed in case of a valid patent was left open.

- D3Neuheitsschädlich
The Munich Local Division construed claim 1 of EP 1838002 (a programmable hybrid transmitter with first and second modes) to require that offset information and transmit property information are necessarily associated with normalization of the complex signal. On this construction, the auxiliary request's amendment (explicitly requiring all three outputs) was found to introduce no additional restriction since the original claim was already construed to require this relationship.
