Case No. S2017_006 ¦ Decision of 30 August 2017 ¦ “Gutheissung superprovisorische Massnahme”
The defendant in this matter had notified the SPC holder of the imminent launch of its generic product in Switzerland, before a decision in parallel nullity proceedings was available. The validity of the SPC had been challenged in parallel nullity proceedings based on the SPC case law of the CJEU and an accordingly to be revised Swiss practice.
The plaintiff sought for interim injunctive relief without hearing the defendant beforehand. Since the critical issue had not yet been decided in parallel nullity proceedings, interim injunctive relief has provisionally been granted. The defendant has been invited to file a response.
