Zusammenfassung in einfacher Sprache

Ortovox Sportartikel GmbH obtained an ex parte preliminary injunction from the Düsseldorf Local Division against Mammut Sports Group AG and GmbH prohibiting the sale of avalanche transceivers allegedly infringing EP 3 466 498 B1 in Germany and Austria, conditional on Ortovox providing EUR 500,000 security. The court appointed a technically qualified judge ex officio under Art. 8(5)(2) UPCA given the technical complexity, and subsequent procedural orders addressed the R. 212.3 review request and confidentiality protection of Mammut's trade secrets.

Hinweise zur Anspruchsauslegung

EP 3 466 498 B1 claims an avalanche rescue transceiver (Lawinen-Verschütteten-Suchgerät) with a control unit that drives a loudspeaker to output a voice message and sound signal, where the sound signal is suppressed or reduced in volume when the voice message is output. The claim elements set out in the order include detailed features of the send/receive unit and the speech/sound prioritisation logic.
