Munich court bans SAP Signavio feature in Celonis patent case

A Munich court issued an injunction barring SAP from offering one function of Signavio Process Intelligence, ruling it infringes a Celonis patent on calculating lead time between process stages. The ban applies only in Germany; SAP has appealed and is challenging the patent's validity.

• Injunction covers one Signavio function, not the whole product
• SAP appealed and disputes the patent at the Federal Patent Court
• Part of a wider patent dispute between SAP and Celonis in Germany and the US
• Court ordered SAP to disclose information and financials on the infringement
