The Local Division The Hague found that Maars' Horizon Products did not infringe City Glass's expired EP 1 651 838 (glazing system patent) because a key feature of the sole claim (feature 1.6 – self-locking mechanism) was not met; the revocation counterclaim was dismissed as the patent was held valid. Costs were agreed between the parties.
