OTS - Synova substantially limits the Swiss part of EP 1833636 B1 as granted before the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property
2020. September 01. 10:00
Zug, 1 September, 2020 (APA/OTS) - Following substantial evidence
brought up against the validity of Synova's EP 1833636 B1 by
Avonisys AG in ongoing court proceedings before the Swiss Federal
Patent Court, Synova substantially limited the original patent on
14 August 2020 by means of limitation proceedings before the Swiss
Federal Institute of Intellectual Property.
Evidence proving that key, if not all, features of the claims
of EP 1833636 B1 as granted had either been realized in numerous
machines sold prior to the filing date of the patent application or
were already in the public domain by means of other public
disclosure, seems to have pushed Synova's management to limit the
original patent in an effort to maintain protection for at least
some of the originally claimed subject-matter.
Synova's move supports Avonisys' view that most, if not all, of
EP 1833636 B1's claims were invalid in the light of the quality and
overwhelming amount of evidence. It also casts additional and
significant doubt on the legitimacy of Synova's original patent
infringement proceedings against Avonisys AG.
"All the facts are on the table now and we remain confident
that the competent Swiss court will draw the right conclusions in
this case soon", comments Stephan Mohren, Chairman of the Board of
Directors Avonisys AG.
