SilverCrest Monsieur Cuisine Connect

Product Information

The little touches such as the in-built-scale and the electronic Recipe Chip result in shorter cooking times and much less clearing up after, and all those recipes/ideas that initially may have seemed too scary and complicated, are now within easy reach.

The inclusion of irregularities in the prosecution is a common practice in most European Union countries and before the European Patent Office, but until now it was not common in Spain. 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.

I wanted to see if the TM5 and Monsieur Cuisine could produce similarly good results and how much they would (if they could), simplify the procedure. Some months ago, the GC already issued a judgment recognising the 3D shape of the lipstick “Rouge G de Guerlain”.

We, therefore, wonder whether, in the face of so many doubts, a decision should not have been made in favour of a title which was granted (by the European Patent Office), such as Vorwerk’s patent.

In the first instance judgment, LIDL was prohibited from importing, advertising or marketing its ‘Monsieur Cuisine Connect’ food processor, for infringing – as it was declared – the patent of VORWERK, the manufacturer of the Thermomix®. Lidl argued that there were many similar items on the market, and that Thermomix lacked any novel features. That is, regardless of whether the vessel is secured or not, or whether the cover is open or closed, as long as the machine is plugged into the power supply and turned on, the food can be weighed, since the weighing system is independent of the switch that is activated by fixing the vessel and securing the cover on the vessel. Instead, the Monsieur Cuisine Smart is equipped with a Google voice assistant that can be used with a compatible device such as the Google Home Mini to interface with the robot. The judgment confirms the validity of Vorwerk’s patent by declaring that its main claim does not include an extension or generalisation of subject matter due to a modification of the main claim with respect to the text of the original application (quite the opposite, in the Court’s opinion) and that it meets the patentability requirements of novelty and inventive step, contrary to what Lidl maintained in its counterclaim.The solution adopted by the patent was so simple that the Court of Appeals took a different view, considering that the solution was in the state of the art and so simple that it was obvious to a person skilled in the art.
