On 14 March 2025 the regional court of Stockholm has ruled that the Swedish part of the SATISFYER patent EP 3 228 297 would be invalid in Sweden and LELO’s products would not infringe the patent in Sweden. The regional court of Stockholm had based its decision on arguments brought forward by LELO, which had already been fully rejected by various other courts and in particular by the European Patent Office.
Various other courts had decided that the LELO products Sona, Sila and Enigma infringe the SATISFYER patent. The European Patent Office had confirmed the validity of this patent. LELO has appealed these decisions.
The decision of the regional court of Stockholm applies only to Sweden and does not affect our legal standing in other countries. 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.
