A much debated issue in Italian IP litigation is whether a “late reaction” against alleged infringements by the right-holder should affect his chances of obtaining an urgent interlocutory relief. Precedents suggest that the right-holder will be affected. However, a recent patent infringement case decision by the Turin IP Court (Feb. 21, 2013, case 4B – F. B. vs K. and al.), confronting that issue, takes a different view.
