Generic application
Order of the Paris Central Division (judge-rapporteur Catallozzi) granting Roche Diabetes Care GmbH's application for extension of the deadline for filing its rejoinder to the reply to the defence in a revocation action for EP 2 196 231. Roche argued that Tandem Diabetes Care submitted new prior art in their reply that had not previously been discussed, and that it needed additional time to address both the new prior art and a parallel counterclaim for revocation before the Hamburg Local Division. The court extended the deadline to 29 July 2024, exercising its discretionary power under principles of proportionality, flexibility, fairness and equity.
