Patents Act 1977. Section 60(1)(c) Patents Act 1977 Pioneer v Warner [1997] RPC 757 BGH, GRUR 1992, 305 – “Heliumeinspeisung”; BGH, GRUR 2001, 730 – “Trigonellin”; BGH, GRUR 2014, 464 – “Kollagenese II”; OLG Karlsruhe, GRUR 2014, 764 – “Verwendungspatent”. See for example, LG Düsseldorf, 14 March 2013, 4a O 145/12 – “Ribavarin” English law Use claims, when in the form ofUse of X as …” are treated as a type of process claim. In the medical field, methods of treatment by therapy or surgery are excluded from patentability, but claims of the form “(substance X) for use in the treatment of (medical condition Y)” are permissible. Claims of this form (purpose-limited product claims) are treated as second medical use claims for the purpose of novelty and are only anticipated by a prior disclosure of the use of X for the treatment of Y. Prior to the implementation of the EPC 2000, “Swiss-form” claims (“use of X in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of Y”) were permitted. The Patents Court has considered the requirements for infringement of such a claim and held that the word “for” in Swiss-form claims imports a requirement of subjective intention on the part of the manufacturer that the medicament or pharmaceutical composition will be used for treating the specified condition. (NB This is a very recent decision which may be appealed.) Indirect infringement Germany Under German law a number of requirements must be fulfilled for a finding of indirect infringement: – A third party supplies or offers, within the territory of Germany, means relating to an essential element of the invention, and these means are suitable and intended to exploit the invention. – The means are offered or supplied to a person who is not entitled to exploit the patented invention. – Further, the third party must act without the consent of the patentee. – The customer intends to use the supplied means in an infringing manner. – The person offering or supplying knows or it is obvious from the circumstances that such means are suitable and intended for exploiting the invention. – The means are not staple commercial products, unless the person offering or delivering these means induces the recipient to act in a directly infringing manner.
