Street Surfing LLC v. Alcom Computer Products B.V. ,  preliminary injunction proceedings, The Hague District Court, The Netherlands, 2 December 2009, Docket No. 345784 / KG ZA 09-1122

An unregistered license can form the basis of an enforcement action against a third party if the third party, as currently is the case, is aware of the existence of the license (Art. 56 Dutch Patent Act). 

After applying the problem/solution approach the court concludes that additional inventive work from the skilled person is needed to get to the invention of the Patent.

A cross border injunction is granted as the claim for such an injunction was not contradicted.
