Update on the News of August 18, 2023 and of November 20, 2023, Regarding Sensirion's Patent Dispute regarding certain particulate matter sensors of Cubic Sensor and Instrument Co., Ltd

Sensirion AG has defended its disputed patent (German part of EP 2 145 171). In its decision of February 26, 2025, the German Federal Patent Court ruled that the patent remains valid, albeit in a restricted form (case no. 5 Ni 31/22 (EP)). The decision of the Federal Patent Court is subject to appeal.

The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court, which acts as the appellate court in the current patent infringement lawsuit, now continues Sensirion's infringement action against Acal Bfi, a German distributor of Cubic Sensor and Instrument Co., Ltd, regarding the offer and sale of certain particulate matter sensors. A final decision is expected after the oral hearing scheduled for April 2026.
