Lund, Sweden, 2012-01-27 11:59 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
On January 17, the Landgericht Hamburg court in Germany upheld the previous
preliminary ruling of September 7, 2011. In that ruling, Doro’s competitor,
Emporia Deutschland, was forbidden, subject to a considerable fine, from
holding, selling, using, importing or exporting a clamshell mobile phone model
with a certain appearance and marketed under the Telme brand. The phone, which
was launched last summer, is similar in appearance to Doro’s equivalent
products and thus constitutes an infringement of Doro’s registered design
rights.
The phones that infringe on Doro’s rights may not be sold.
“I am very pleased that the Landgericht Hamburg court has confirmed our
position. We work intensively and continuously with innovation, design and
branding. That is why we also promptly and consistently challenge any
infringements upon our intellectual property rights,” says Jérôme Arnaud,
President and CEO of Doro.
