Grimme Maschinenfabrik v. Derek Scott: Decision of the English Court of Appeal
For those who follow the development of patent law in Germany, the UK and The Netherlands (and those with an interest in agricultural machinery), this Decision of the English Court of Appeal available at www.bailii.org has much of interest in it. Grimme, the Dutch owner of EP (UK) 0 730 399 for a potato harvester, asserted their patent against an English manufacturer, Derek Scott, and got from the High Court in November 2009, and (on appeal) from the Court of Appeal in October 2010, a decision in their favour that the patent was valid and infringed. Scott’s novelty and obviousness attacks, in the end, all failed and the patent was upheld by the Court of Appeal as granted.
