Procedural Order on the Revocation Action for EP 3 802 413 B1

On July 27, 2026, the Court of First Instance of the Unified Patent Court addressed a revocation action concerning European patent no EP 3 802 413 B1. The dispute involved SYPOX GmbH, which claimed SME status, and Topsoe A/S. A central issue was whether Topsoe could access an unredacted Investment Agreement (D36) that might refute SYPOX's claimed status. SYPOX had withdrawn the unredacted document from the proceedings, opting to rely on a redacted version (D36R). The court agreed, declaring D36 as not part of the evidence and dismissing Topsoe's access requests to D36 due to insufficient legal interest and an emphasis on confidentiality.
