LONDON, June 29 (Reuters) - Norwegian robotics firm AutoStore (AUTO.OL) said on Thursday it will appeal a London high court judgement in March which dismissed its patent infringement claims against British online supermarket and technology group Ocado (OCDO.L). Ocado, like AutoStore, licences its technology to retailers around the world and uses it for its British grocery delivery service. He issued his formal order on Thursday, but allowed AutoStore to appeal. "We can confirm AutoStore has today been granted permission to appeal the High Court decision in March 2023 regarding our UK case against Ocado for patent infringement and we will now pursue that appeal," an AutoStore spokesperson said. Judge Hacon also ordered AutoStore to pay Ocado 6.7 million pounds ($8.5 million) in costs in relation to the high court trial.
