Alinea 89 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 31 oktober 2003

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 31 oktober 2003, ECLI:NL:PHR:2003:AI0346.

'These words ['relate to', A-G] clearly imply that Art. 26 was intended to be applicable to means which are part of the invention's concept, as well as those which substantially relate to it. This may include a part of an essential element, and means which have been specially adapted for the invention, or designed for making an essential element thereof. A fortiori, an apparatus for making a patented product should be covered by Art. 26, as it substantially relates to each and every essential element of the invention. Where the means are of a kind described above there is no need for further qualitative requirements, since the existence of and demand for them can clearly be attributed to the invention, and they distinctly relate to the invention's concept. But the words "relating to" should not be used to extend Art. 26 to products which are not necessary for realizing the invention, but merely intended for use with it. This concerns in particular the supply of means which are intended, or even adapted, for use with a patented device, i.e. they are not required for making that device, but essential for using it.'
