--
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.
