schestowitz[TR2]"The present decision of the UPC has been commented in another blog.<br /><br />The patent monopoly on which the request for a PI was not opposed. <br /><br />It is interesting to note that when applying Art 69 and the protocol, the Vienna local section of the UPC read into independent claim 2 limitations which were not contained in it. <br /><br />This is in clear contradiction with a long line of case law of the boards of appeal Apr 26 02:22

It simply claims that the diameter of the line secApr 26 02:22
schestowitz[TR2]tions upstream and downstream of the throttle are different. <br /><br />According to §[0032] of the description, the difference in diameter is only preferable, whereas the length of the downstream line should, in order to achieve the effect of homogenisation of the milk foam, be at least be 0,5 m. It can go up to 2m, but is preferably 1,50 m. <br /><br />Something seems to have gone wrong during examination."Apr 26 02:22

schestowitz[TR2]"It seems that the Vienna LD very reasonably applies the same logic as used in the German &quot;Spannschraube&quot; decision - the bare meaning of the words of the claim may encompass the alleged infringing act but if read with the eyes of a skilled person in the light of the description, the words used have a particular meaning in the context of the patent."Apr 26 17:17
