Article L613-28 of the French Intellectual Property Code

The supplementary protection certificate is invalid:

-if the patent to which it relates is invalid;

-if the patent to which it relates is invalid for all those parts of it corresponding to the marketing authorisation;

-if the corresponding marketing authorisation is invalid;

-if it is granted in breach of the provisions of article L. 611-3.

In the event that the patent to which it relates is invalid for only a fraction of those of its parts corresponding to the marketing authorisation, the certificate is invalid only for its part corresponding to that fraction.

Article L613-28

Le certificat complémentaire de protection est nul :

-si le brevet auquel il se rattache est nul ;

-si le brevet auquel il se rattache est nul pour la totalité de celles de ses parties correspondant à l’autorisation de mise sur le marché ;

-si l’autorisation de mise sur le marché correspondante est nulle ;

-s’il est délivré en violation des dispositions de l’article L. 611-3.

Dans le cas où le brevet auquel il se rattache est nul pour une fraction seulement de celles de ses parties correspondant à l’autorisation de mise sur le marché, le certificat est nul pour sa seule partie correspondant à cette fraction.
