STOCKHOLM — A Swedish district court has ruled that a patent filed by Satisfyer parent company EIS GmbH is not valid, and therefore three products from pleasure brand LELO are not in violation.
As reported by XBIZ, Satisfyer won a patent infringement case against LELO in Germany last year over the same three products. The company was not as successful in Sweden, where LELO is now free to sell its Sona, Sila, and Enigma air suction pleasure products.
"This decision confirms that LELO’s innovative designs and technologies are distinct and original, upholding the brand's reputation for pioneering excellence in the intimate wellness industry," said a rep. "LELO regards the judgment as a strong confirmation that Swedish retailers, distributors, and partners can comfortably sell the aforementioned LELO products throughout Swedish territory."
The company continues to appeal the infringement ruling in Germany, as well as other European jurisdictions.
