The judge orders the German supermarket chain to suspend the marketing of its Monsieur Cuisine Connect robot and withdraw all units from the market
The secrets of the most popular food processor in the world
The Court considers that Lidl has invaded the patent for the Thermomix kitchen robot, owned by the Vorwerk company, and condemns the German chain to withdraw from the market all its Monsieur Cuisine Connect machines.
The Commercial Court number 5 of Barcelona has ruled that the defendant company has infringed the characteristics of Thermomix, set out in a patent, in its Monsieur Cuisine appliance.
The court condemns Lidl to suspend the importation, storage, offering and marketing of its food processor and, in addition, demands the withdrawal from the market of all the units that are in its warehouses or have been distributed to its distributors.
Lidl will also have to compensate the plaintiff Vorwerk for the damages caused, with the economic amount that will be determined in the execution phase of the sentence once it is final.
