Align Technology, Inc. v. Angelalign Technology - Provisional Measures
Align Technology, Inc., a US-based company specializing in clear aligner orthodontic products, sought provisional measures, including a preliminary injunction, against various European subsidiaries of Angelalign Technology.

The patent was registered with unitary effect and has not faced opposition thus far. Align is known for its 'Invisalign G6' technology, while Angelalign markets similar products like the 'A7 Premolar Extraction Solution'. The court's decision addressed provisional measures and the burden of proof in the context of potential patent infringement.
