LS2 Triumphs in Lawsuit Against Shark in Court Decision
Fresh Take:
In a major victory for Spanish helmet manufacturer LS2, the Supreme Court of Spain has dismissed Shark's final appeal, concluding that LS2 did not infringe upon Shark's patent for the "flip-up" chin bar solution [1]. This legal battle, which has been ongoing for four years, revolved around LS2's Convert and Valiant models, two popular choices in the "modular" helmet sector.
This decisive ruling is a clear endorsement of LS2's innovative and original products, as well as the strength of their international patent portfolio, particularly for the Valiant model, which has been recognized by the European Patent Office.
LS2's success in this dispute marks a significant milestone in their mission to provide top-notch protection to European motorcyclists. To underscore this commitment, the company has expanded its safety offerings, introducing jackets, pants, gloves, protectors, and accessories under the LS2 umbrella.
In a recent move, LS2 has rebranded its Tech Design Team as LS2 Motogear Europe SLU, signifying their dedication to the European market. Their ultimate goal is to dominate all segments of the industry by combining quality, innovation, and comfort in every product they create.
As European CEO Giuseppe Porcu describes it, the transition to LS2 Motogear Europe SLU signifies their commitment to being closer to European customers, adapting to their needs, and staying attuned to market changes [2].
