High Court refuses to grant summary judgment on Fujifilm's claim for Arrow declaration
by Practical Law IP&IT
The High Court has dismissed an application by the defendant owner of a divisional patent application for summary judgment on a claim for an Arrow declaration that, in effect, the claimant generic manufacturer would have a Gillette defence to a claim for infringement of that application once granted. (Fujifilm Kyowa Kirin Biologics Company Ltd v Abbvie Biotechnology Ltd and AbbVie Ltd [2016] EWHC 2204 (Pat), 8 September 2016.)
NOTE: On 12 January 2017, the Court of Appeal rejected AbbVie's appeal in relation to this decision (see Legal update, Court of Appeal decides in principle that Arrow patent declarations can be granted). (See details of Practical Law IP&IT and Media & Telecoms policy on annotating case reports.)
