Generics (UK) Ltd (trading as Mylan) v Yeda Research and Development Co Ltd and another (No 2)
[2013] EWCA Civ 925; [2013] WLR (D) 316

“Where a patent specification made a technical effect “plausible” it was open to a party to mount a challenge to the existence of that effect by the use of later evidence. There was no principled objection to the admission of evidence as to the true nature of the advance made by the invention in connection with an objection of lack of inventive step.”
