    Question referred

    If the criteria for deciding whether a product is ‘protected by a basic patent in force’ under Article 3(a) o the Regulation (1) include or consist of an assessment of whether the supply of the product would infringe the basic patent, does it make any difference to the analysis if infringement is by way of indirect or contributory infringement based on Article 26 of the Community Patent Convention, enacted as s60(2) Patents Act 1977 in the UK, and the corresponding provisions in the laws of other Member States of the Community?

    (1)  Regulation (EC) No 469/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 concerning the supplementary protection certificate for medicinal products

    OJ L 152, p. 1
