Satisfyer confirms that on 30 September 2025, the Board of Appeal of the European Patent Office issued a decision revoking Satisfyer’s European Patent EP 3 228 297 B1. This decision has no impact on our ability to manufacture, market, or sell Satisfyer products. You can continue to rely on the same uninterrupted supply of our products and the trusted support you are accustomed to.
This European Patent represented only a small part of the global intellectual property portfolio of the Satisfyer Group. In addition to other registered patents and pending patent applications covering pressure-wave technology (Air Pulse), the worldwide intellectual property portfolio of the Satisfyer Group includes numerous additional patents, design rights and trademarks which protect Satisfyer’s innovative products.
Contrary to Lelo’s statement on 1 October 2025, the Board of Appeal has not determined that Lelo’s “designs and technologies are distinct and original”. The Board did not make any statement regarding Lelo’s designs and technologies at all. Whether their products are distinct and original, is something every seller should assess independently.
Regardless of this decision, the distribution of products that violate any of our existing patents or other intellectual property rights remains illegal and Satisfyer will take swift action against any such infringement. We recommend that every seller of products verifies that their products are safe to distribute from an intellectual property perspective and obtains guarantees and indemnification from the respective manufacturers.
