Plain-English summary

Labrador Diagnostics LLC (US) sued bioMérieux SA and related entities for infringement of EP 3 756 767 B1, a patent for a modular point-of-care diagnostic testing device. After the Central Division amended the patent in parallel validity proceedings, the Düsseldorf Local Division dismissed Labrador's infringement action, holding it was bound by the amended claim wording under which the bioMérieux products did not infringe; the question of validity was no longer decisive once non-infringement was established.

Accepted arguments
What the court agreed with — by party.

  • Local Division is bound by the Central Division's amended claim wording in a bifurcated case

    RespondentLegal basis: Art. 33 UPCA; bifurcation provisions

    Note: Court held that once the Central Division amends the patent in the validity track, the Local Division in the infringement track must apply the new amended claims and cannot look behind them.

  • No infringement of amended claim 1: challenged products do not meet the amended claim features

    RespondentLegal basis: Art. 25 UPCA

    Note: Court dismissed the infringement action after construing the amended claims; the challenged bioMérieux products did not infringe.

Rejected arguments
What the court did not agree with — and why.

  • Infringement by equivalence of product claim 1 (challenged embodiment I)

    ClaimantLegal basis: Art. 25(1) UPCA

    Reason: Court left the admissibility of the doctrine of equivalents claim open as it was not decisive; non-infringement under the literal amended claim was sufficient to dismiss, and equivalence was not found.

  • Patent validity remains decisive for the infringement action even in a bifurcated case

    ClaimantLegal basis: Art. 33 UPCA

    Reason: In a bifurcated case where no infringement is found, validity is no longer decisive for the outcome of the infringement action.

Key legal principles
Doctrines and rules cited in the reasoning.
In a bifurcated UPC case, the Local Division is bound by the Central Division's amendment of the patent claimsWhere infringement is not found under amended claims, validity becomes irrelevant to the infringement actionDoctrine of equivalents admissibility question may be left open if non-infringement is found without itBifurcation: Local Division must apply amended claim wording from Central Division validity proceedings

Claim construction notes

The infringement action concerned EP 3 756 767 B1 (modular point-of-care diagnostic device). Following the Central Division's amendment of the patent in bifurcated proceedings, the Local Division applied the new amended claim wording and found that bioMérieux's challenged diagnostic systems did not meet the amended claim features. The precise scope of the amended claims is not detailed in the excerpt.
