  • 2024-08-27ACT_9216/2024PI grantedMunich Local Division granted a preliminary injunction (provisional measures) against Hand Held Products for indirect/contributory infringement of Scandit AG's barcode-scanning patent EP 3 866 051. The court found indirect infringement (mittelbare Patentverletzung) of claims 1 and 10 proved to the necessary standard and ordered Hand Held Products to cease and desist from offering/supplying the infringing SDK software in multiple UPC member states, subject to a periodic penalty of up to EUR 100,000 per day of non-compliance. The application for direct infringement was rejected. The injunction was conditioned on Scandit providing security of EUR 500,000. Cost applications by both parties were dismissed.
