RegenLab SA v Estar Technologies. Angel IP is also pleased to announce the success of an Angel IP lawyer before the UK High Court in the case RegenLab SA v Estar Technologies Limited et al [2019] EWHC 63. Angel IP’s lawyer, who, as solicitor (at his previous firm) successfully acted for the three defendants, obtained the court’s declaration of invalidity of the RegenLab’s UK patent. In a judgment published on 18 January 2019 the Court held that the claims of the patent lacked novelty due to prior disclosure of the invention and would have been obvious to a skilled team on receipt of the claimant’s product with instructions for users. The judge found that the patent as applied to be amended by the claimant would also have been invalid.
