Nicocigs Limited v Fontem Holdings Limited [2016] EWHC 2161
A Patents Court claim by Nicocigs for revocation/declaration of non-infringement concerning Fontem’s Patent for e-cigarettes. The Patent was held invalid on the grounds of obviousness over two pieces of prior art, anticipation under s2(3) by a ‘poisonous’ co-pending application (the Patent not being entitled to priority from their common priority document), and added subject matter.
Iain Purvis QC acted for the successful Claimant.
