Swedish Court Rules LELO Products Do Not Infringe 'Invalid' Satisfyer Patent

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."

Satisfyer has responded to the ruling with the following statement.

"The decision of the regional court of Stockholm applies only to Sweden and does not affect our legal standing in other countries," the statement read. "This is merely a first instance ruling. We strongly disagree with the decision and will pursue all legal options in the appeal stage. This Swedish ruling does not change our global position, and we remain fully committed to protecting our innovations and ensuring fair competition in the market."

LELO continues to appeal the infringement ruling in Germany, as well as other European jurisdictions.
