Just yesterday we talked about it Viomi dishwasher, sub brand of our beloved Xiaomi and that recently was also presented at the AWE Expo. Recall that the new smart home appliance uses one Italian imported washing pump with pressure up to 15000 Pa, but above all among the functions offered we find a high wash temperature at 70 ° C able to sanitize the dishes. It can be controlled by application and the technology applied to washing offers one 3D spray to 360 degrees that does not leave any blind spots at the cost of 1999 yuan, about 258 Euro at the current exchange rate.
Purtropsome patent-related problems appear to have arisen around five different aspects, such as the design, the basket, the appearance of the tailgate and the structure of the door. News contradicted by Xiaomi who claims not to have infringed any patent so much that the smart dishwasher remained exposed at the technological exhibition until the end. To this he adds that not only Xiaomi but also its branches fully respect the protection of intellectual property rights apparently also confirmed on the spot by the Shanghai Pudong New Area Intellectual Property Association staff.
And we believe in the good faith of Xiaomi though we do not understand the reason for the withdrawal from the sale of the dishwasher that had already begun the online pre sales. In fact, as you can see from the company's website, the product is sold out, but on the web a letter has been published that explains the incident without giving any useful information about the withdrawal from the smart appliance market, but at the same time the company reserves the right to pursue legal responsibilities. A mystery to which we can not respond, at least at this time, but we will not fail to inform you of developments in the story, if there are any. Furthermore remains the doubt as to how Xiaomi will behave with users who have already pre-ordered the product: will cancel the order by returning the money or will it lead to the sale deed?
