AP Racing Ltd v Alcon Components Ltd [2014] EWCA Civ 40
This was a case about a patent for disk brake calipers used in high performance motor vehicles. Hugo Cuddigan acted for the successful appellant and patentee, AP Racing. The patent had been held invalid at first instance on the grounds of added matter, but otherwise novel, not obvious and infringed by Alcon. The Court of Appeal overturned the decision on added matter, the trial judge having taken too narrow a view of the disclosure of the application for the patent, and too broad a view of the disclosure of the granted claims.
