Filhol Ltd v Fairfax (Dental Equipment) Ltd: 1990

He wanted to get onto the market with a product which was designed so as to avoid the construction of the patent claims found by both the High Court and the Court of Appeal. The patentee refused to acknowledge that the new product was outside the patent claims.
Held: An injunction was granted and proceedings had to be brought for a declaration of non-infringement. Those proceedings were successful.
