Düsseldorf Regional Court has found in favour of carmaker Opel and Chinese lithium-ion battery manufacturer CATL, with the judges ruling that.

Meissner Bolte’s patent attorneys continue to conduct nullity proceedings for the client. According to the EPO register, several German and UK law firms file applications for the company, although Cohausz & Florack is not one of them. Patent litigator Tobias Wuttke was working for Meissner Bolte at the time the suit was filed. MU Ionic, for example, instructed Meissner Bolte on litigation for the first time. However, the judges concluded that the technology in CATL’s batteries uses additional substances which the patent does not cover. The lawsuit is being viewed as a test case for potential future disputes with other car makers, which use CATL batteries in their electric cars.
