Procalcitonin (PCT)
Validity of B·R·A·H·M·S’ patent confirmed by German Federal Patent Court
Again, B·R·A·H·M·S GmbH (B·R·A·H·M·S) has successfully defended one of its many patents relating to Procalcitonin (PCT) in diagnostics and therapy around sepsis and infectious diseases. In a judgment pronounced on 23 July 2019, the German Federal Patent Court confirmed the validity of the German part of B·R·A·H·M·S’ European patent (EP 2 301 626 B1), and completely rejected a revocation action instigated by Radiometer GmbH and Radiometer Medical ApS.
B·R·A·H·M·S’ patent relates to the use of antibiotics in the treatment of a specific group of patients having defined PCT levels. The broad protection conferred by this patent is justified by the fundamental and innovative nature of the patented invention, which has been recognized and acknowledged by the Federal Patent Court’s in its decision to maintain the patent as granted. Because of this the Court held Radiometer liable to pay all court fees and to reimburse the attorney’s fees incurred by B·R·A·H·M·S for its successful defense.
B·R·A·H·M·S welcomes this decision and continues to vigorously defend and enforce its patent rights relating to PCT in Germany and worldwide.
