Product Information

If you are under 16 and wish to give consent to optional services, you must ask your legal guardians for permission. The difference with other cases in which no infringement was found seems to be due to a particular function of the blender that, for safety reasons, stops the engine in case the lid is removed from the mixing bowl while the machine is functioning. Je n ai toujours ni mode d emploi ni livre de recette hormis en polonais et je ne parle toujours pas cette langue! This judgement was appealed by Lidl before the Court of Appeal of Barcelona (Section 15ª) and the Court recently issued its ruling, on January 13 2022, revoking the judgement of first instance. BUDGET supermarket Lidl has won a legal battle brought against it for selling its own cheap version of the kitchen appliance Thermomix.

The Monsieur Cuisine was a big seller because it cost three times less than the Thermomix and its features were quite similar. The application for effectiveness in Spain was filed on May 9 2008 and the translation was published on July 1 2008.

In other words, VORWERK included new elements in its patent application during its prosecution before the European Patent Office (EPO), which is not permitted. The problem that many users see with Thermomix is ​​that the recipe model is under subscription, something that does not happen in Monsieur Cuisine, which allows access a large number of recipes from the screen Of the device. The patent ES '589, alleged by Vorwerk, is the validation in Spain of the European patent EP 1 269 898, applied for on June 27 2002 and claiming a priority of June 29 2001.

The inclusion of irregularities in the prosecution is a common practice in most European Union countries and before the European Patent Office, but until now it was not common in Spain. As regards the requirement of inventive step, the Judgment analyses the differences between the two companies’ food processors in the safety system of the glass in which the food is introduced.This makes it possible to weigh something by placing it on the closed lid without having to open it, and also by placing it in the mixing vessel with the lid open. As for the invalidity of the patent, which was one of the pillars of Lidl’s defence, the Court of Appeals considered that the patent was invalid for two different reasons: illegitimate added subject-matter during its prosecution and lack of inventive step. In other words, it is claimed that the feature claimed as a solution to the technical problem was already in the prior art, so that for a skilled person, it would have been an obvious solution to that problem.

In my traditional steamer, the dish takes all of eight mins as I can simply pour boiling water into the bottom of the steamer.

In France and Italy, the courts have not yet reached decisions in the infringement and validity proceedings between Vorwerk, Lidl and Hoyer. Why selling this one which has been released 2 years ago more expensive than the recently released Monsieur Cuisine Smart version. It is interesting to examine case law regarding non-conventional signs like three-dimensional trade marks. The former imports household electronics from China for the European and American markets, via purchasing offices in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Lid with a capacity of 3 liters, filling opening and measuring cup for steaming, with lid and cooking insert, hotplate insert with insert for stirring, cookbook spatula, container with a capacity of 3 l, dishwasher-safe, complete accessories, power consumption 1,200 w , 1,000 w, 800 w, speed approx.

Also warum soviel Geld für einen Thermomix ausgeben wenn diese Küchenmaschine um Einiges günstiger ist aber fast das Gleiche schafft! All in all, the Monsieur Cuisine Smart comes dangerously close to high-end food processors like the famous Thermomix TM6 from Vorwerk. With a huge national success, this model has since suffered the arrival of dozens of “cheap” multi-function food processors, all aiming to dethrone the undisputed market leader. In essence, Thermomix is a blender with a heating system that allows cooking, and it incorporates as well other functionalities, such as weighing ingredients. Lidl, on the other hand, has maintained that there were many other similar food processors on the market and that Thermomix lacked novel features.

That was sufficient to uphold Lidl’s appeal, but the Court of Appeals answered the other issues raised in the appeal “in greater detail”.
