Sibio Technology Limited v Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. [UPC-CoA-884\/2025<\/a>] \u2013 Court of Appeal of the UPC, Luxembourg (Kalden, Rombach, Simonsson, van der Burg, Rydman) \u2013 13 August 2026<\/p>\n

The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) recently issued its decision on the validity of Abbott\u2019s patent EP3831283 for an on-body glucose monitoring device.\u00a0 In its assessment of added subject-matter, the Court conducted a detailed review of the technical teaching of the patent as a whole, leading it to determine that the omission of a feature from claim 1 did not result in new technical information being added beyond the scope of the application as filed. \u00a0The Court applied essentially the same legal test as that used by the EPO (the \u201cgold standard\u201d, G2\/10), also emphasising the importance of assessing the functional and structural relationships between the omitted and claimed features. \u00a0We consider whether this indicates a deviation from the EPO\u2019s notoriously strict approach to added matter.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

In March 2024 Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. filed an application with the UPC Local Division for a preliminary injunction (PI) and other provisional measures against Sibio Technology Limited, alleging that Sibionics\u2019 GS1 CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) product infringed EP\u2019283.\u00a0 The application was refused for the reason that claim 1 was more likely than not invalid due to the omission of an elastomeric sealing member or elastic material from claim 1, resulting in added matter.\u00a0 The Court of Appeal (CoA) reversed the first instance decision, finding that the skilled person would derive other modes of sealing directly and unambiguously from the application as filed.\u00a0 The preliminary injunction was therefore granted (UPC_CoA_392\/2024).<\/p>\n

In parallel, Sibio filed a revocation action against EP\u2019283, alleging invalidity due to added matter and lack of novelty and inventive step.\u00a0 The oral hearing on this action was held by the Paris Central Division in June 2025 (UPC_CFI_231\/2023). The Court noted that while the Court of Appeal\u2019s decision on the provisional measures was not binding, its reasoning could not be disregarded.\u00a0 It held that, inter alia<\/em>, the omission of an elastomeric seal from claim 1 did not result in added matter.<\/p>\n

In the present case, the CoA maintained its view taken in the PI case, upholding the decision of the First Instance Court.\u00a0 The reasons for the decision offer further insight into the approach to added matter in the UPC.<\/p>\n

The Court of Appeal\u2019s test for added matter<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CoA set out that in order to determine whether there is added matter, it must ascertain:<\/p>\n

\u201cwhat the skilled person would derive directly and unambiguously using his common general knowledge and seen objectively ad relative to the date of filing, from the whole of the application as filed, whereby implicitly disclosed subject-matter, i.e. matter that is a clear and unambiguous consequence of what is explicitly mention, shall also be considered as part of its content.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The decision explicitly notes that this test is the same as the \u201cgold-standard\u201d established by the EPO\u2019s Enlarged Board of Appeal in G2\/10 (paragraph 30).<\/p>\n

Sibio maintained that including features in claim 1 relating to a recess, without also including the elastomeric sealing in the recess, constitutes added matter, either because it is an intermediate generalization or because the omitted feature is essential to the invention.\u00a0 However, in the Court\u2019s view, no separate categories of added matter exist, since there is only one relevant test.<\/p>\n

It was also the Court\u2019s view that \u201cthe technical effect that the invention aims to achieve, and whether an omitted feature contributes thereto, is relevant for the assessment of added matter\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0 In particular, the CoA emphasised the relevance of whether the skilled person would consider there to be \u201ca structural or functional relationship between the omitted feature and the other features of the claimed embodiment\u201d, i.e. \u201can inextricable link\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n

The absence of an inextricable link between the omitted elastomeric sealing and the claimed features of the device is central to the Court\u2019s finding in this case.\u00a0 In view of the application as a whole, the CoA held that the skilled person would not consider the elastomeric sealing to have a role in establishing electrical connections in the device. \u00a0On the other hand, the skilled person would recognise that sealing the electrical contacts from the environment was essential, but could be achieved by any type of sealing forming part of the common general knowledge, particularly in the absence of any preference stated in the application for one type of sealing over another.\u00a0 Therefore, the omission of an elastomeric seal from claim 1 did not convey new technical information.<\/p>\n

Deviation from EPO practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some commentators have suggested that the UPC\u2019s approach, with its emphasis on the teaching of the application as a whole, is more \u201cholistic\u201d than the EPO\u2019s.\u00a0 However, according to the BoA case law, an intermediate generalisation is justified \u201cin the absence of any clearly recognisable functional or structural relationship among the features of the specific combination, or if the extracted features is not inextricably linked with those features<\/em>\u201d (see e.g. T1067\/97).<\/p>\n

For example,\u00a0 in T2047\/22, the Board rejected the appellant\u2019s (opponent) argument that Merck\u2019s patent for applicator for inserting a medical implant contained added matter. \u00a0The appellant argued that the recitation in claim 1 of a cannula holder \u201cslidably received inside the housing<\/em>\u201d, taken from the description, constituted an intermediate generalisation.\u00a0 The Board disagreed, noting that the skilled person would infer that alternatives to the omitted features could be used and, as such, they were not inextricably linked to the claimed features.<\/p>\n

Similarly, in T507\/22, the Board rejected the opponent\u2019s argument that claim 1 directed to a casting installation contained added matter due to omission of a cooling nozzle and vibrator in relation to the claimed guide roll.\u00a0 Although the application as filed disclosed all three features in the same sentence, (\u201cthere may be provided a guide roll\u2026., a cooling nozzle\u2026, and a vibrator<\/em>\u2026..\u201d), the Board found that they did not have an inextricable functional or structural linkage and, therefore, the intermediate generalisation was allowable.<\/p>\n

The above cases are also consistent with T1762\/21, in which the Board stated: \u00a0\u201cThe person skilled in the art is presented with subject-matter extending beyond the application as filed when an amended claim includes only some features of an originally disclosed combination and the features left out of the claim were understood, by the person skilled in the art, to be inextricably linked to the claimed ones. This is the case if the person skilled in the art would have regarded the omitted features to be necessary for achieving the effect associated with the added features. In such a situation, the amended claim conveys the technical teaching that the effect can be obtained with the claimed features alone, which is in contrast with and extends beyond the originally disclosed subject-matter that the whole combination of features was needed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Therefore, while the EPO often considers importing into a claim a feature that is only explicitly disclosed in combination with other omitted features to add matter, the EPO case law also acknowledges that there are circumstances in which such amendments are allowable.<\/p>\n

The UPC Court of Appeal\u2019s decision in Sibio v Abbott does therefore not seem inconsistent with established EPO practice.\u00a0 What is apparent, both before the EPO and the UPC, is that whether or not an amendment is considered to constitute an unallowable intermediate generalisation will be highly dependent on the specific facts of the case.\u00a0 Applicants are advised to carefully consider, at the time of drafting, what the application explicitly and implicitly teaches the skilled person about the functional and structural relationships between the technical features of the invention.<\/p>\n
