  Zusammenfassung: Court of Appeal dismissed Sibio's appeal against the Paris Central Division's decision in the revocation action. Both the added-matter attack (intermediate generalisation) and the inventive-step attack failed, so Sibio's request for revocation of EP 3 831 283 is dismissed and the patent stands. Sibio bears Abbott's costs.
