Kohler Mira Limited v Norcros Group (Holdings) Limited

The patent claims are invalid for insufficiency due to uncertainty; the specification does not provide a criterion for 'substantially unchanged' flow rate, making the boundary of the claim impossible to determine. Triton's products do not infringe as the result is achieved by other components, not the diverter valve, and the risk of scalding criterion is not the applicable test.

Trayport Limited v E-Star Trading GmbH & Ors

Permission to serve out is set aside for most claims due to failure to meet the merits test, inadequate pleading, lack of evidence of acts within the UK, and material non-disclosure.
