Zusammenfassung in einfacher Sprache

G. Pohl-Boskamp GmbH & C.KG applied to the Mannheim Local Division for provisional measures against pharma-aktiva GmbH and ALDI entities for infringement of EP 1 993 363 B1 (polysiloxane composition for combating ectoparasites and their eggs). The court granted the provisional measures order prohibiting the defendants from making, offering, distributing, using or importing the infringing composition in Germany and Austria, declined to require security because defendants had already voluntarily ceased sales, and imposed a fine of EUR 100 per infringing item.

Angenommene Argumente
Was das Gericht akzeptiert hat — nach Partei.

  • Infringement of EP 1 993 363 B1 (ectoparasite composition) by defendants' product is established at provisional measures stage

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 206 VerfO

    Hinweis: Defendants did not substantially contest the infringement finding; court found the legal standing of the patent sufficiently secure to grant measures.

  • No security (Sicherheitsleistung) is required because defendants had already ceased distribution and plan to destroy remaining stock

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 62(5) UPCA; Art. 60(7) UPCA; R. 211.5 VerfO

    Hinweis: Because defendants voluntarily stopped selling and no substantial harm would flow from the order, security would be disproportionate.

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

  • Security (Sicherheitsleistung) should be required before granting provisional measures

    BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: Art. 62(5) UPCA; R. 211.5 VerfO

    Begründung: Defendants had already ceased distribution; no material harm would result from the order; defendants themselves did not allege impending harm.
