Key takeaways
In view of the lack of patentability, the admissible infringement action is unfounded without the need for a judicial review of the infringement allegation required.
After the court has dealt with the interpretation of the patent-in-suit and established the invalidity of the patent-in-suit, it dismissed the infringement action without further ado.
Both the examination of validity and the examination of the question of infringement require the (uniform) interpretation of the patent-in-suit.
