The court was asked: ‘Firstly, did Arnold J correctly hold certain claims of the patent in suit invalid for insufficiency; and, if so, should he have held more claims invalid on that ground? Secondly, was he correct in holding the patentee’s application to amend claim 3 of the patent, made after judgment on the issue of invalidity, to be an abuse of the process of the court? Thirdly, if there were any valid claims which were the subject of the allegation of infringement, was the judge correct to hold that there was no infringement of the (Swiss-form, second medical use) claims in the patent?’
