CJ Medical cited three items of prior art in support of its allegation that the Patent lacks inventive step, of which two were relied on at trial:

Soble referred to other patents, including US Patent No. 5,730,727 (‘Russo’). It was agreed that the skilled person should be taken to have read Soble and Russo in combination, although there was a dispute about the relevance of the other patents referred to Soble.
