Zusammenfassung in einfacher Sprache

Washtower IP B.V. and Washtower B.V. obtained a preliminary injunction from The Hague Local Division against IBBH, BEGA Consult, BEGA BBK, and NEG Novex (Defendants 2-5) for infringement of EP 3 522 755 B1, covering washing machine cabinet furniture. The Court found the Laundreezy and Respekta Clara cabinets more likely than not infringing, and ordered injunctions, recall, and supply-chain information disclosure across all UPC states, with EUR 56,000 in legal costs awarded jointly against the defendants.
