Mueller Sports Medicine Inc. is enforcing its intellectual property rights in the U.K. and Germany, with ongoing litigation against 1000 Mile Sportswear Ltd., d/b/a Ultimate Performance, together with its managing director Jack Galaun.
In Germany, Mueller Sport sued 1000 Mile for infringement of Mueller’s European patent rights by 1000 Mile’s ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE knee products marketed and sold in Germany. Mueller prevailed, and the German court enjoined 1000 Mile from further infringement and awarded Mueller both damages and attorney fees. (District Court Munich I, Case No. 21 O 2599/13)
“For more than 50 years, Mueller has invested in research and development of its portfolio of innovative sports medicine products that our customers demand,” said Brett Mueller, president of Mueller Sports Medicine, in a statement. “And, Mueller Sports Medicine has a history of defending its intellectual property.”
In the U.K., Mueller Sports is seeking to collect both damages and attorney fees from 1000 Mile in this U.K. lawsuit (Case No. IP-2016-000203 in the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, Intellectual Property Enterprise Court).
