The most interesting thing about this fairly unexceptionable case (from this blogger's point of view is an observation made by the judge in the context of claim construction. At paragraph 68 he said:
"In my judgment both sides' original arguments risk committing the fallacy warned against in Nobel v Anderson (1894) 11 RPC 519. A patent is to be construed as if the infringer had never been born".This point must be one that is at the forefront of British judges' minds of late, since the same principle was cited almost exactly a month ago by Mr Justice Floyd in Cephalon v Orchid & Mylan  EWHC 1591 (Pat), (noted here), in paragraph 35 of his judgment. Counsel, take note!
