Sumi Agro Europe Limited v.Syngenta Limited
This appeal concerned provisional measures in a patent infringement dispute over European Patent EP 2 152 073 relating to herbicidal compositions. The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court largely upheld the Munich Local Division's order finding that Sumi Agro's 'Kagura' herbicide more likely than not infringed the patent, while adding Romania to the territorial scope and reversing the cost decision to order Sumi Agro to bear Syngenta's costs.
Sumi Agro Limited; Sumi Agro Europe Limited v.Syngenta Limited
This appeal concerns a challenge by Sumi Agro against an order of the Local Division Munich that granted provisional measures against Sumi Agro in relation to European Patent EP 2 152 073. Sumi Agro submitted new facts and evidence in the appeal proceedings, and Syngenta objected to the admission of certain evidence while also seeking to introduce its own new evidence. The Court of Appeal disregarded Exhibit SA17 because Sumi Agro had previously submitted other pages from the same publication before the Court of First Instance, but admitted evidence relating to a possible new version of the contested embodiment (Kagura 2024) following the alleged infringer's statements about a product ingredient change.
