  • 2025-08-29ACT_19943/2025PI deniedThe Hague Local Division dismissed Cilag GmbH International's and Ethicon LLC's application for provisional measures (preliminary injunction) against RiVOLUTiON GmbH for alleged infringement of EP 3 689 262 (a staple cartridge patent for surgical staplers). The court found that the urgency requirement for provisional measures was not satisfied: Cilag had known or should have known by November 2024 (following a Bariatric Study result) of the potential infringement and related market risks, and had not filed the application promptly. The fact that a Sana group tender outcome became clearer later did not revive urgency as it was foreseeable. Cilag was ordered to pay EUR 80,000 as an interim costs award to RiVOLUTiON. Ancillary applications were also dismissed.
