WOW Tech Group Sues Lora DiCarlo for Patent Infringement

BERLIN/NEW YORK CITY—Novoluto GmbH, which does business as WOW Tech, filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Oregon on Dec. 31st against Uccellini LLC d/b/a Lora DiCarlo (LDC). WOW Tech seeks to enforce three of its Womanizer Pleasure Air Technology patents against LDC, with the suit charging LDC with patent infringement for making, using, selling and/or importing into the United States LDC's line of Osé, Osé 2, and Baci products. WOW Tech has stated that it is committed to vigorously enforcing its intellectual property rights against all infringers, including retailers, distributors, and other market participants selling infringing products. After CDH Investments acquired a substantial stake in the company at the beginning of 2020 and became a main shareholder, WOW Tech set its strategic direction for the coming years with an even stronger focus on innovation and enforcement of its patent portfolio. This partnership, among other things, will allow WOW Tech to continue to invest significant resources in and expand its international network of legal experts. WOW Tech takes patent infringement seriously and is committed to holding patent infringers responsible for violating WOW Tech's intellectual property rights. "The WOW Tech team is working hard, investing much time, budget, and passion to create new and innovative products. We will make sure that these achievements are protected. Therefore, we act with full force against all those who infringe our patents, be it brands, retailers or distributors," said Johannes von Plettenberg, WOW Tech CEO. "We also have a responsibility to our valued partners who sell our products. We want to ensure that copycats do not harm their businesses and sales." Attempts to contact DiCarlo to respond to the announcement of WOW Tech's lawsuit were unsuccessful.
