Section 15 of the Barcelona audience has upheld the appeal filed by Vorwerk (owner of the Thermomix brand) in the lawsuit against his kitchen robot.

But he also makes “fish, jams, pie crusts and much more.” It has 10 speeds and a “turbo” button to beat with the pulse function as well as automatic programs to fry or knead. This robot also has a legion of followers who even share the recipes they make over the internet.

Lidl’s legal battle
The judges of the Court of Barcelona consider that the patent in which Vorwerk was based to impute the infringement of his rights is null for two different reasons. In the first place, due to the existence of “added matter” due to “the protection having been extended illegitimately in the course of the patent process.” He also believes that the patent for the Thermomix “did not have an inventive step”. The Court also considers that, even if the patent were not valid,
According to the sentence, the appeal filed by Lidl against the sentence that involved the commercialization of its kitchen robot issued in January 2021 is upheld. As a consequence, Vorwerk’s claim is dismissed “in its entirety” and the costs of the process are imposed. . “We declare the nullity of the Spanish patent ES 2 301 589, validation of the European patent EP 1 269 898, which has the title “” and we condemn the defendant to the costs of the counterclaim. We do not impose the costs of the appeal, with return of the deposit.
