EOFlow's Request for Discretionary Review Dismissed
The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court issued an order dismissing EOFlow Co., Ltd.'s request for discretionary review regarding penalty payments for infringing Insulet Corporation's patent (EP 4 201 327). EOFlow, a South Korean manufacturer, had breached a preliminary injunction related to its insulin pumps, leading to a penalty of EUR 150,000. EOFlow also appealed the denial of its confidentiality requests but was unsuccessful. The court emphasized that EOFlow had not adhered to the procedural requirement of requesting a leave to appeal within 15 days. Consequently, both EOFlow's main and auxiliary requests were deemed inadmissible. The appeal against the dismissal of a separate Rule 262.2 request remains pending.
