Dyson's Appeal on Infringement Against Dreame Group
The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court issued a decision concerning Dyson Technology Limited's appeal against Dreame International and Eurep GmbH. Dyson claims that Dreame's products infringe on its European Patent No. EP 3 119 235, which pertains to a hair care appliance. Dyson requested provisional measures to prevent Dreame from infringing within the UPC territory and Spain. The Hamburg Local Division partially granted Dyson's request, identifying probable infringement for old products but not new ones. Both parties appealed. The Appeals Court decided to stay parts of the case and referred European law interpretation questions to the CJEU while issuing a provisional order for Dyson on other parts, extending injunctions to new Dreame products.
