21 November 2025 - E8

Milan Central Division limits excessive attacks

In a judgment of 23 October 2025, the Milan branch of the Central Division sent a very clear message to revocation claimants: too many attacks can be a problem in themselves.
 

14 November 2025 - E7

Paris Central Division departs from the problem-solution approach

In a recent decision of 20 October 2025, the Paris seat of the Central Division took a notable step away from the EPO’s traditional problem–solution approach. 
The case, Meril Life Sciences v. Edwards Lifesciences, concerned heart valves and became a showcase for what the Paris Central Division called a holistic inventive-step assessment.
 

7 November 2025 - E6

What does a purpose-oriented feature in a product claim patent claim really do? At the UPC, that question just got a clear answer.

How far does a “purpose” in a patent claim really go?
In BRITA SE v. Aquashield (UPC_CFI_248/2024), the Munich Local Division clarified that purpose-limited device claims are confined to objective suitability, not subjective intent.
