The second of these decisions, Abbott v Dexcom [2021] EWHC 2246 , concerned Abbott's latest application to expedite a patent trial revoking four of Dexcom's patents. Mr Justice Mellor dismissed the application " with some regret ". The injunction gap arises in Germany because infringement is decided before and separately to validity.
