Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the patentee's appeal regarding an inflated incentive payment for a technical improvement. The court found the proposed solution was merely a temporary fix for a machine failure rather than a permanent innovation. Consequently, the court rejected the calculation of economic effects based on total production volume.
