Amlodipina II, Court of Appeal Barcelona (Audiencia Provincial Barcelona), 24 February 2010

The Barcelona Court of Appeal found that the process used by the defendants to obtain amlodipine was not equivalent to the process protected by the patent in suit. The Court relied on the three Catnic questions test, applied by the English Courts until 2004, to come to this conclusion that the patent was not infringed by equivalence.
