Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by three inventors against a lower court's judgment awarding statutory interest for delayed patent remuneration. The inventors argued for a broader retroactive application of regulations regarding interest, but the court found their procedural complaints lacked the necessary specificity required by law. Consequently, the court ruled that the lower court correctly applied the regulations and that the appeal was inadmissible due to insufficiently detailed grounds.
