• Nespresso Deutschland GmbH, Roast Market GmbH, Coffee Up! GmbH, and Capsul'in Pro S.A amongst alleged infringers
• Validity and strength of patent confirmed in EPO opposition

RHENEN, The Netherlands, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OxBarrier B.V., a pioneer in patented compostable single-serve capsule technologies, today announced that it has filed multiple infringement lawsuits in Germany, before the Munich Regional Court (Landgericht München).  These relate to the infringement of the German part of its European patent EP 3 145 838 B1 (EP'838). OxBarrier's technology is protected by a large portfolio of intellectual property rights. The validity of multiple European patents was recently confirmed by both the Opposition Division and the Technical Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office in multiple proceedings.

The most recent infringement action, filed on October 7, 2025, is against Nespresso. OxBarrier is claiming that Nespresso's "home compostable Original capsules" infringe the German part of EP'838.

Another prominent infringement action is directed against Roast Market GmbH, Coffee Up! GmbH, and Capsul'in Pro S.A. OxBarrier claims that various types of home compostable capsules infringe the German part of its patent EP'838. This includes certain capsules used by the following brands: Forest, Senza Cup Verde, Coffee Circle, Julius Meinl, Earlybird, Novell, Terramoka, Bonga Red Mountain, Gimoka, Schamong Rösthandwerk, PublicMy Coffee Cup and Fincafé. In response to the infringement suit, Capsul'in Pro S.A. filed an invalidity action, despite the recentechnolt confirmation by the EPO Boards of Appeal of the validity and strength of EP'838.
