Notice regarding patents:
Roche has been granted patent protection in the USA for its Accu-Chek
Softclix Plus finger pricker and its use in combination with Accu-Chek
Softclix and Accu-Chek Softclix XL lancets (US Patents 4,924,879 and
Re. 35,803). Similar patent protection also exists in other countries,
especially through European Patents 0565970, 0782838 and Japanese
Patent 2702374. Your purchase entitles you to use your Accu-Chek
Softclix Plus finger pricker in combination with Accu-Chek Softclix and
Accu-Chek Softclix XL lancets. As required by statute, Roche will refrain
from pursuing its patent rights against private persons using Accu-Chek
Softclix Plus finger prickers in combination with lancets from another
manufacturer for non-commercial purposes. Acquisition of Accu-Chek
Softclix Plus finger prickers is not associated, other than through the
aforementioned statutory limitation on the effect of the patent, with any
entitlement and in particular with any tacit permission for the acquirer
to use any other lancets. Roche reserves the right to assert its patent
rights against any manufacturer offering lancets for Accu-Chek Softclix
Plus finger prickers.
