    Summary: The Düsseldorf Local Division found that the infringement action failed (patent not infringed) while partially upholding the defendants' counterclaim for revocation: the patent EP 2 755 901 B1 (egg packaging) was revoked in part, with the counterclaim otherwise dismissed. Priority, inventive step, and equivalence were the key issues.

    Show the legal issues (4)
    • Priority under Article 87 EPC
    • Inventive step - material selection from limited range
    • Infringement by equivalence
    • Partial revocation via counterclaim
