Lawyer Moosreiner from Munich warns operators of hookah shops on behalf of the Kaloud Inc. (Los Angeles) and the Kaloud Europe GmbH for alleged patent infringements.
About Kaloud Europe GmbH:
Kaloud Inc. (USA) appears in Europe under the name Kaloud Europe GmbH. Like Kaloud Inc., Kaloud Europe GmbH is active in the design, development, manufacture and import / sale of goods for smokers. The focus is particularly on water pipes (Shisha) and water pipe accessories.
Content of the warning:
Lawyer Moosreiner accuses the admonished of several patent law violations on behalf of Kaloud Inc./Kaloud Europe GmbH. The content of these allegations is initially a charcoal container for water pipes, which is sold by Kaloud Europe GmbH under the name “Kaloud Lotus 1 “ is distributed. A “slavish imitation” of this coal container “from cheap Chinese production” was advertised by the admonished on Instagram without the permission of Kaloud Europe GmbH and also offered for sale. The fact that the products are counterfeit can easily be seen from the pricing, the color scheme and the inferior quality of the imitations.
This behavior of the warned person constitutes a patent infringement. Kaloud Europe GmbH is the owner of the European patent entitled “Heat control accessories for a water pipe” (publication number EP 2 858 520). The decision on this European patent was published in the European Patent Bulletin on July 25, 2018.
Furthermore, the accusation is raised that the admonished person also has an imitation of the tobacco head “Kaloud Samsaris Vitria” available for purchase. The “falsification” of the admonished person would take over all the designs of the original and thus create the same overall impression. Kaloud Europe GmbH is the owner of these registered community designs (005819505-0001 and 002861351-0001)
Claims from the warning:
The warned person is requested to sign a declaration of cease and desist and obligation to cease and desist and to provide information about distribution channels and the sales made through the use of the patent. In addition, claims for the profits achieved are asserted in the context of compensation and costs for legal representation.
