SilverCrest Monsieur Cuisine Connect

Product Information

The robot “Monsieur Cuisine Connect”, one of the most popular and best-selling in Spain, is to be withdrawn from the market. With that finding, the Court of Appeals understood that the first attack of invalidity on the grounds of added subject-matter had to be upheld, which determined the invalidity of claim 1 and thus the invalidity of the entire patent. 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.

How Meghan Markle's style has changed from boho island girl to Hollywood glam since her first wedding in.In both trials, our colleague Fernando Prieto, European Patent Attorney and partner in charge of ABG Intellectual Property’s Engineering and Physics Department, participated as Lidl’s expert, and the judgment of the Provincial Court of Barcelona recognises him as such, mentioning him on several occasions. 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”. I also found that I had to scrape down the sides manually a few more times with the spatula and fiddle with the controls to make sure that the dough was mixed thoroughly as the Monsieur Cuisine lacks the ‘dough’ function. The solution adopted by the patent was so simple that the Court of Appeals took a different view, considering that the solution was in the state of the art and so simple that it was obvious to a person skilled in the art.

Sin una requerimiento, el cumplimiento voluntario por parte de su proveedor de servicios de Internet, o los registros adicionales de un tercero, la información almacenada o recuperada sólo para este propósito no se puede utilizar para identificarlo. This is because the function of weighing is carried out in the Thermomix thanks to a special technology that is independent of the circuit that controls the movement of the jar. 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.It's like selling you the latest Samsung Galaxy and telling you that having the version before won't let you download the latest android version.

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.

What is most striking in this case is the different approach to inventive step taken by the lower court and the Court of Appeals. LIDL filed a Statement of Defense, opposing the plaintiff's claim, and also filed a counterclaim, claiming the nullity of the patent due to lack of novelty (later abandoned), inventive step and addition of subject matter. This model has preserved the qualities of its predecessor and contributed to the manufacturer’s sales figures. I felt that I carried over much of the know-how from the Thermomix when using the Monsieur Cuisine, meaning that people who don't have the benefit of that information will most certainly struggle. In January 2021, Lidl was forced to remove the food processor from its shelves in Spain as well as to cease all imports, storage, marketing, and advertising and Vorwerk was awarded damages.The little touches such as the in-built-scale and the electronic Recipe Chip result in shorter cooking times and much less clearing up after, and all those recipes/ideas that initially may have seemed too scary and complicated, are now within easy reach. Inside, you’ll find a stainless steel mixing bowl, the cooking insert, the lid with an opening for adding ingredients during the cooking process, the stirring attachment, the spatula and two steam cooking attachments (deep and shallow) with lids, as well as an instruction manual. Lidl must also pay compensation and legal fees to Vorwerk, and has also been instructed to remove any products already in the hands of distributors. If their findings cannot be shaken, Lidl ultimately risks high compensation costs if it continues to sell its Thermomix clone – including sales outside Spain.
