UPC Revokes Maxell Patent After Prior Art Finds Anticipation in Galaxy Devices
Maxell sued four Samsung entities at the UPC in The Hague over alleged Galaxy smartphone and tablet patent infringement. Judges held claim 1 of EP 2 061 230 was fully anticipated by US prior art US 2006/0263048 (Sato). Separately, Munich revoked EP 2 579 587 in full and dismissed a wide Galaxy infringement action; another case remains pending with a September decision due.
