Munich Regional Court ruled that SAP's Signavio Process Intelligence software infringes a Celonis patent covering process mining technology, resulting in an injunction against SAP in Germany. This judgement is the first in a broader multi-jurisdictional patent and antitrust battle between Celonis and SAP.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must consider IP risks in the process mining space as Celonis has won a key battle blocking SAP's software in Germany. This legal precedent opens a door to enforce proprietary tech rights aggressively in European enterprise software markets.
