Not to be defeated, I tried again with the Monsieur Cuisine, using the recipe from the Thermomix cookbook, and voila. Vorwerk initiated legal proceedings in June 2019, arguing that their European patent, registered in Spain in 2008, had been violated due to the similarities between the two products. The 3D EUTM was partially declared invalid - for goods in class 25 (Footwear; footwear soles; insoles; heelpieces for footwear; footwear uppers)- first by the Cancellation Division and then by the Boards of Appeal.

Thermomix’s patent ought to be declared invalid, as Lidl filed a parallel invalidity action on Vorwek’s patent. Thermomix is represented in more than 60 countries and is considered the market leader in the field of kitchen robots with its Thermomix. In other words, there is inventive step because the previously known devices (and the patents that protected them) did not even consider this as a problem to be solved; they did not consider this new functionality or improvement of the cooking machine: none of the previous patents evidences/suggests/insinuates that it was a technical challenge to create a cooking machine that in addition to processing/agitating would allow weighing food by independently activating both functions (weighing food in the container or stirring vessel regardless of the state of the switch). e. without the need to stop the stirring mechanism beforehand, and it is that opening or unlatching of the lid by means of a small turn on its axis which stops the stirring mechanism, albeit not immediately’. The application for effectiveness in Spain was filed on May 9 2008 and the translation was published on July 1 2008.Body language expert explains Meghan Markle's 'proud reason' behind placing her hand on Prince Harry's chest. The dispute focuses on whether the stirring vessel and the lid of the defendant’s product can be locked in such a way that it is impossible to act inside the stirring vessel during operation”, summarises the court. In this case, it seems that the court has focused more on the creativity of posing a new problem (new functionality) than on the solution given to it in the patent. I was not a fan of the consistency of the mince achieved in both, which was slightly mushy, almost paste-like.

BarcelonaBarcelona's Court of Appeal ended up ruling in favour of German supermarket chain Lidl in its litigation against Vorwerk, a German appliance company which developed the Thermomix food processor. Lidl’s Monsieur Cuisine has been flying off the shelves since its launched last month, selling out across Europe as home cooks scramble to get their hands on the inexpensive kitchen gadget. I put a few nutmeg seeds (from the same pack) into the respective machines and in under a minute, the TM5 had produced a fine, evenly ground nutmeg powder. something that does not happen in the product resulting from the Thermomix patent and, therefore, in the opinion of the Provincial Court of Barcelona, “ there is no infringement”. The judgment confirms the validity of Vorwerk’s patent by declaring that its main claim does not include an extension or generalisation of subject matter due to a modification of the main claim with respect to the text of the original application (quite the opposite, in the Court’s opinion) and that it meets the patentability requirements of novelty and inventive step, contrary to what Lidl maintained in its counterclaim.The judgment is well reasoned and well drafted; it analyses in detail and gives a reasoned response to all the technical issues in dispute, relying at all times on the documentary and graphic evidence submitted and the opinions of the experts who have intervened. MADRID, Jan 19 (Reuters) - A Spanish appeals court has dismissed an intellectual property theft case brought by Vorwerk Electrowerk against German low-cost retailer Lidl for selling an appliance too similar to its popular kitchen gadget Thermomix that chops and cooks food. cm color touchscreen display Cooking Pilot recipes with step-by-step instructions via WiFi screen for free recipe download and automatic updates when the user account is activated integrated kitchen scales for weighing directly in the pot automatic programs for kneading, steaming and frying with 10 speed levels and turbo heads for kneading, large removable 4. The court is of the opinion that “the fact that the initial description mentions separately two functions of the control board (stirring and heating) and makes no reference to the weighing device prevents it from being considered that this application disclosed the idea of a weighing device controlled by an autonomous circuit of the same control board as the stirring device and the heating device” […]; and that “it is clear that this disclosure is not made expressly and we do not believe that it is made implicitly”.
