Tuesday 3 – Wednesday 4 February 2026
By Appellant’s Notice filed on 23 April 2025 the Appellant (Claimant below) Salts Healthcare Ltd, appeals the decision of the High Court Chancery Division, delivered on 5 March following trial.
Salts Healthcare (“Salts”), proprietor of UK Patent GB 2 569 212 concerning ostomy appliances (the “Patent”), brought a claim against Pelican Healthcare (“Pelican”), seller of the “ModaVi” ostomy bag. Salts alleged that the ModaVi infringed claims 5, 8, and 20 of the Patent, both on a normal interpretation and under the doctrine of equivalents. Pelican denied infringement and alleged that the Patent was invalid due to lack of novelty, inventive step, and added matter. Salts also applied to conditionally amend the Patent.
