Primus v. Roche, Court of Appeal The Hague (Gerechtshof Den Haag), 21 August 2012

The Court of Appeal held that Roche c.s. infringed the patent. Test results regarding the allegedly infringing product were admitted as evidence because Roche's arguments were held insufficient to render these tests unreliable. Furthermore, the court ruled that it has jurisdiction to decide on the infringement in Germany based on Art. 24 EC 44/2001, because the amended German part of the patent was held valid by final judgment between the same parties in Germany.
