Citation:Kirin Amgen Inc and Others v Hoechst Marion Roussell Ltd and Others, 2005 1 All ER 667
Rule of thumb: Is European patent law and UK patent law the same? As a general rule, yes – it will be extremely rare for them to be different.
Judgment:
The Court further confirmed that it is important in patent law that standards be the same across Europe to the highest possible degree, meaning that this is a subject of law where the comparative approach is particularly important, ‘It is important the United Kingdom should apply the same law as the European Patent Office’.
