In this commentary we will refer to the Judgment of the Barcelona Provincial Court (15th Section) 1610/2021 of 27 July (ECLI:ES:APB:2021:8276). We do not intend to provide a critical commentary on the Judgment, but simply to refer to some aspects that we have considered to be of interest in patent matters and, in particular, to the legal analysis of the plausibility of a technical effect on which the inventive step of patent EP 1 203 761 (EP'761) was based. This was the CCP's basic patent on the product cinacalcet.
