In such a situation, a suspected infringer who has been unable to consult the text of the patent in the official language of the Member State in which he is domiciled, is presumed, until proven otherwise, not to have knowingly infringed the patent.
If, as here, the infringer is paying the patent-holder for entry before patent expiration, that’s decidedly NOT a pay for delay situation and there’s no inference to be drawn that the patent is invalid.
For another example, if a patent is shown to be invalid in a case against one accused infringer, that same patent is invalid against all other accused infringers—invalidity need not be re-proved.
Nevertheless, additional translations could become necessary in legal proceedings against a suspected infringer.
To prove infringement, the patent owner must establish that the accused infringer practises all the requirements of at least one of the claims of the patent.
Patent litigation typically involves enforcement of the patent owner’s “right to exclude” against an accused infringer.
