In the dispute between the Lidl discount in Germany and the Knipex tool company. This sees his patent rights violate and acts legally against Lidl. The food giant is no longer allowed to sell the Parkside’s own brand, otherwise there is a risk of punishment.
Lidl had violated a control cabinet key to replacing the company and patent rights, says Knipex boss Ralf Putsch of the German news agency. With the tool you can, for example, open and close heating systems or sanitary facilities in buildings. Putsch speaks about a “shameless” approach, because Lidl’s tools are too much like that of the German tool manufacturer Knipsex.
Knipex -Baas: “We’ve never experienced”
The Knipex boss cannot understand Lidl’s behavior. “We have never experienced that a German company does something like Lidl as Lidl does. If you bring such a product to the market, first check which ownership rights there are, “he says surprised.
Lidl did not want to say anything about the case. “Please understand that we don’t want to comment on current legal disputes,” said the discount.
Lidl may no longer sell the key
Knipex warned Lidl and the importer of the tool. Moreover, Lidl was asked to no longer sell the control cabinet key of the Parkside’s own brand. If Lidl does not stay there, a contractual fine is threatened. In addition, information such as the profit and the production quantities must be announced.
