In the suit filed under 4 b O 266/06 and preferred before the Düsseldorf District Court, Kronotex submitted on 28 August 2007 an appeal against the judgement delivered in the first instance.

The chamber of the Düsseldorf District Court had based its judgement at first instance primarily on the functionality of the connection. Kronotex claims that the court did not enter adequately into the details of the patent contrary to the 5G embodiment. Kronotex assumes that the appeals court will make a different appraisal and that the appeal will be upheld.

September will see judgement on the opposition proceedings against the patent in suit EP 1 415 056 B1 before the European Patent Office and Akzenta’s civil action against Välinge. Kronotex is convinced that both suits will influence favourably its own appellate proceedings.
