Earlier today (22 September), ETO was made aware of the latest developments in the ongoing EIS/LELO patent court cases.
Here is LELO’s press release, in full.
“In a significant legal victory, the Federal Court of Australia decided that EIS’s Australian Standard Patent No. 2018200317 is invalid and is to be revoked. Further, the court decided that EIS did not establish that the LELO Products infringed the Patent, even if it was valid.
“This decision confirms what LELO believed all along: its innovative designs and technologies are distinct and original, upholding the brand’s reputation for pioneering excellence in the intimate wellness industry.
“LELO regards the judgment as a confirmation that Australian retailers, distributors, and partners can comfortably sell LELO suction product lines of SONA, SILA and ENIGMA throughout the Australian territory. While EIS may appeal this decision, it will rest on EIS to show the court erred in coming to the conclusion that the patent is invalid and infringed.
“This decision serves to uphold LELO brand’s reputation for pioneering excellence in the intimate wellness industry. LELO remains dedicated to its mission of delivering high-quality, innovative products to its customers.”
ETO has of course reached out to EIS for comment, and will update this story accordingly as and when we receive a response.
