Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc. v. Koninklijke Philips N.V. and Others (UPC)

Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc. appealed a decision from the Unified Patent Court's Local Division which dismissed its infringement claim against Koninklijke Philips N.V. and related entities and revoked its patent (EP 2 437 696 B2) entirely, based on lack of novelty and inventive step concerning a wearable position therapy device. Philips filed a counterclaim for revocation of the patent, challenging its validity. On appeal, Advanced Brain Monitoring filed additional auxiliary requests to amend the patent. The Court reserved judgment on the admissibility of these requests and denied Philips' request for an extension of the response deadline.
