With the enforcement B. Braun has inter alia prohibited Becton Dickinson the marketing of "Venflon Pro Safety" in Germany and has requested Becton Dickinson to recall already marketed IVCs of the type "Venflon Pro Safety".
Becton Dickinson is free to file an appeal against the judgment of the Regional Court Düsseldorf. An opposition for nullification of the patent in suit as filed by Becton Dickinson with the European Patent Office had already been rejected in first instance in November 2014 against which Becton Dickinson already filed an appeal.
