Ferring B.V. v. Reprise Biopharmaceutics LLC et al. and Ferring B.V. v. Allergan Inc., District Court The Hague, The Netherlands, 12 March 2014, Case No. HA ZA 11-2167 and HA-ZA 11-2849
Ferring unsuccessfully tries to repossess various patents and applications. Nu full costs are awarded. According to the Court, a repossession based on Art. 61 EPC is not a situation in which a right holder invokes an intellectual property right. The action can also not be seen as an anticipation of a threat of enforcement by Reprise c.s.
