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. On 13 January, the Court of Barcelona issued its judgment on the appeal lodged by Lidl against Vorwerk (proprietor of the Thermomix trademark) related to the marketing of its food processor. Sounds simple, but nutmeg is one of the hardest spices around, so this would really test the blade capability in both machines. The Commercial Court nº 5 of Barcelona handed down a judgment on January 19 2021, upholding the claim stating that the Spanish patent ES 2 301 589 is valid as it meets the requirement of inventive step as the technical solution given by the patent was not obvious to a person skilled in the art and there was not defect of added subject-matter.

Recipes do not work properly, and the instructions given are insufficient to allow the user to use the machine easily and properly from the time of purchase. The supermarket chain's legal counterattack was a cross-claim to invalidate Vorwerk's patent for "lack of novelty, inventiveness and addition of matter", which is what the Appeal Court has now accepted. The court ruling said that Monsieur Cuisine violated Thermomix's European patent, registered in Spain in 2008.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. The Monsieur Cuisine was a big seller because it cost three times less than the Thermomix and its features were quite similar. of Barcelona of January 19, 2021 (JUR\2021\14695) resolves the conflict raised between Vorwerk, holder of a European patent validated in Spain that protects the technology incorporated in a food processor (popularly known in the market by the trademark Thermomix®), which in June 2019 filed a lawsuit for infringement of its patent against LIDL Supermarkets. A while ago, a clear competitor to the most famous food processor, the Thermomix (Vorwerk), appeared on the market: The Monsieur Cuisine (Lidl). 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.

As for the invalidity of the patent, which was one of the pillars of Lidl’s defence, the Court of Appeals considered that the patent was invalid for two different reasons: illegitimate added subject-matter during its prosecution and lack of inventive step.

This allows it to knead twice as much dough, whereas the motor used to show signs of weakness for the same quantity.

In addition, many of the recipes will also have videos so that you can follow the most complex preparations step by step, and all this at no additional cost. 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. In the course of the patent infringement proceedings, Lidl, for its part, also filed a lawsuit against Vorwerk; Lidl is filing a motion to invalidate the Thermomix patent.

Why selling this one which has been released 2 years ago more expensive than the recently released Monsieur Cuisine Smart version.
