The Hamburg Local Division dismissed AGFA NV's infringement action against Gucci entities finding that the accused leather goods did not infringe EP 3 170 670 (a patent concerning inkjet-decorated leather), specifically because the ivory-coloured base coat did not constitute a perfect achromatic colour as required by the patent claims; it also dismissed the defendants' counterclaim for revocation.
