| 释义 |
In the context of German patent law, the Formstein defence is a well-known defense against an alleged infringement by equivalents, wherein the alleged infringer claims that the embodiment alleged to be equivalent (to the subject-matter claimed in the patent) is not patentable and therefore the doctrine of equivalents does not apply.[1] It is similar to the UK's Gillette defense and the U.S. Wilson case.[2] The name "Formstein" means "molded kerbstone" and comes from a landmark decision of the Federal Court of Justice of Germany (Bundesgerichtshof) issued in 1986.[2][3][4] References1. ^{{cite video |people=Peter Guntz |date=8–9 November 2012 |title=EPO boards of appeal and key decisions: The decisions of the boards of appeal – a national judge's perspective (Part 1 of 3) |url=https://e-courses.epo.org/wbts/caselaw2012/index.html |publisher=European Patent Office |location=Munich, Germany |accessdate=November 16, 2013 |minutes=5:52 to 6:23}} {{Germany-law-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite book |last= Groves |first=Peter |date=January 1, 2011 |title=A Dictionary of Intellectual Property Law |url=http://www.e-elgar.co.uk/bookentry_main.lasso?id=14209 |publisher=Edward Elgar Publishing |page=130 |isbn=9781849807784}} 3. ^{{cite journal |year=1987 |journal=IIC |volume=28 |pages=795 }} 4. ^Schneidmesser II; GRUR 1986, p 803.
