Satisfyer has issued a statement claiming victory against LELO for patent infringements related to their pressure wave vibrators. The legal dispute was recently settled in a German court in Satisfyer’s favor. The statement reads as follows:
“This is a significant victory against LELO, fully supporting our position and emphasizing the validity of our patents. The court confirms that products from LELOi AB and LELO Europe GmbH infringe on the patents of EIS GmbH.
“On July 25, 2024, the Düsseldorf District Court ruled that LELO products Sona, Sila and Enigma infringe on the patents of EIS GmbH. EIS primarily utilizes these patents in Satisfyer’s pressure wave vibrators. As a result of this ruling, LELO is required to cease distributing the infringing products within the jurisdiction of the court’s decision, provide EIS with information about all distributed products and their recipients, and pay damages for the distribution of patent-infringing products.
“Previously, on October 18, 2022, the European Patent Office rejected the opposition filed by LELO Europe GmbH against Satisfyer’s patent. Both decisions provide strong support for Satisfyer’s ongoing legal proceedings against LELOi AB, which are pending in Sweden, Australia, Canada and other European countries.
“LELO has appealed both the decision of the European Patent Office and the Düsseldorf District Court. However, our patent and legal attorneys remain confident that the clear decisions already issued will be upheld on appeal.
“We feel more than validated by the Düsseldorf District Court’s decision and are now offering former dealers of our competitor LELO, and other providers who refrain from infringing our patents, the opportunity to cooperate with us regarding our Satisfyer products.”
