I used the Recipe Chip provided (a magnetic, electronic chip that gives step-by-step instructions on the touch screen), and within 10 minutes, had creamy, delicious mayo. In its ruling, the court declared Spanish patent ES 2 301 589 invalid (validation of European patent EP 1 269 898), which is titled “Food processor” and is owned by Vorwerk.

The former imports household electronics from China for the European and American markets, via purchasing offices in Hong Kong and Shenzhen.The manufacturer has already sold nearly 180,000 units of the Monsieur Cook Smart at the launch in 2021. 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. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. When whipping cream or performing other actions that cause it to splash out of the opening, Silvercrest and Lidl recommend that users place the cooking insert on the lid. There is no extra additional cost to offer these buttons, just unlocking some interface features that are voluntarily locked down on the Connect model.

The judgment is well reasoned and well drafted; it analyses in detail and gives a reasoned response to all the technical issues in dispute, relying at all times on the documentary and graphic evidence submitted and the opinions of the experts who have intervened. The dispute concerned German companies only, with Vorwerk not filing actions against the Chinese manufacturers. German retailer Lidl will be allowed to sell its popular Monsieur Cuisine kitchen robot after all as the Barcelona provincial court ruled that its appliance does not violate a patent held by Vorwerk for Thermomix, thereby overturning a lower court ruling a year earlier.Voted Spain‘s number one expat newspaper and ‘second in the world’, by 27,000 people polled by UK marketing group Tesca. The first try, using the recipe from their complimentary cookbook, failed (the oil and egg yolk did not emulsify) and I ended up with a runny, vinegary mess in the blending jug that also leaked out unto the base. The subscription is not compulsory, but without Cookidoo many functions, online access to recipes and many other things that distinguish the Thermomix from other appliances are missing. In other words, there is inventive step because the previously known devices (and the patents that protected them) did not even consider this as a problem to be solved; they did not consider this new functionality or improvement of the cooking machine: none of the previous patents evidences/suggests/insinuates that it was a technical challenge to create a cooking machine that in addition to processing/agitating would allow weighing food by independently activating both functions (weighing food in the container or stirring vessel regardless of the state of the switch).

Lidl was nonetheless “found guilty” of infringing Thermomix’s patent, and therefore forced to retire its “Monsieur Cuisine Connect” from the Spanish market.

This latest verdict, made public on Wednesday, states that Vorwerk illegitimately expanded its patent's coverage while registering it and that the company's product did not meet what is known as the "inventive step" requirement for patents.
