The Mannheim Local Division fully revoked European patent EP 3 476 616 in Germany and dismissed the infringement action brought by FUJIFILM against Kodak entities. The application to amend the patent was also dismissed. The court held that the patent was entirely invalid due to lack of novelty/inventive step in the German territory. No injunction was granted. Claimant was ordered to pay EUR 300,000 as interim award on legal costs. The value in dispute was set at EUR 15,000,000.
