No Climb Products Ltd v Gas Safe Europe Ltd [2026] EWHC 908 (IPEC) (22 April 2026)
Patent trial on detector-testing apparatus: the court construed claim 1 broadly, found Gas Safe’s products infringed, and upheld validity over cited prior art.
Claim 1 of the Patent requires both Adjustments 1 and 3 to be stepless; the Apex Assist hoist does not satisfy this requirement as Adjustment 3 is stepped. Indirect infringement fails because fitters would not intentionally implement the invention irresponsibly or contrary to instructions. The doctrine of equivalents does not apply as the Apex Assist does not achieve substantially the same result as the inventive concept.
