2025-08-29ACT_19943/2025The Hague LDApplication for provisional measuresPreliminary injunctionPI deniedThe Hague Local Division dismissed Cilag GmbH International's and Ethicon LLC's application for provisional measures (preliminary injunction) against RiVOLUTiON GmbH for alleged infringement of EP 3 689 262 (a staple cartridge patent for surgical staplers). The court found that the urgency requirement for provisional measures was not satisfied: Cilag had known or should have known by November 2024 (following a Bariatric Study result) of the potential infringement and related market risks, and had not filed the application promptly. The fact that a Sana group tender outcome became clearer later did not revive urgency as it was foreseeable. Cilag was ordered to pay EUR 80,000 as an interim costs award to RiVOLUTiON. Ancillary applications were also dismissed.

2024-07-31UPC_CFI_195/2024The Hague LDApplication for provisional measuresPI grantedThe Hague Local Division granted a preliminary injunction against the defendant prohibiting direct infringement of EP 1 993 350 B2 (relating to a hybrid Agaricus bisporus mushroom strain) in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy. The court held that the mushroom strain was not excluded from patentability under Art. 53(b) EPC and found a prima facie case of infringement. The defendant was ordered to deliver up infringing Cayene mushroom strains, provide customer information, pay an interim award of EUR 11,000 in costs, and penalties of up to EUR 50,000 per day for non-compliance. The injunction was made conditional on Amycel providing security of EUR 200,000.
2024-06-19ACT_14945/2024The Hague LDApplication for provisional measuresPreliminary injunctionPI deniedApplication for a preliminary injunction by Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. against Sibio Technology Limited and Umedwings Netherlands B.V. concerning EP 3 831 283 (wearable glucose monitoring device) was denied by The Hague Local Division. The court found it more likely than not that claim 1 of the patent would be held invalid for added matter (the claimed feature of a connector support being received through a distal-facing opening into a recess was not directly and unambiguously derivable from the application as filed). As a result, Abbott must bear defendants' costs. Value of the action set at EUR 4,000,000.
