Essity, through its Tork brand, produces and markets innovative hygiene products and solutions. This involves significant investments in both financial resources and time, for Essity and for its partners.

Building on its success, the presence on the market of many devices similar to SmartOne® has multiplied, which is why Essity continually monitors the market and acts as soon as necessary.
Essity discovered a company selling copies of Tork SmartOne®, devices and refills. Essity therefore decided to take legal action.
The Paris Court of Appeal recognized the infringement of the system (device and recharge) then on June 8, the Court of Cassation ruled that there was also infringement by the sole provision of the recharge.
• Essity's patent is indeed infringed by competition marketing a device and charging based on SmartOne® technology
• Essity's patent is indeed infringed by the competition marketing a single recharge compatible with SmartOne® technology
This decision is a major victory for Essity and its Tork brand in France.
