ERGOSAFE WINS AGAINST WIND-DAM´S DEALER IN SWEDEN
ErgoSafe AB has recently won a lawsuit against the Swedish company AK Fönster & Dörr Sverige AB, dealer to the Polish competitor Wind-Dam, for marketing Wind-Dams product “Wind-Dam System”/ “Wind-dam Balustrade” in Sweden.
The Swedish Patents and Market Court of Appeal has unanimously, in a decision concerning a preliminary injunction ruled in favor of ErgoSafe in the legal proceedings against Wind-Dam’s dealer AK Fönster. The court ruled that the Polish product has infringed ErgoSafe’s registered EU-design, which applies to the height-adjustable glass balustrade ClickitUp. This product has been the subject of copying and illegal sale on the European market for several years, despite repeated warnings from ErgoSafe about infringement of their intellectual property rights.
Fredrik Johansson, CEO of ErgoSafe, expressed his satisfaction with the outcome and emphasized the great importance of this win for the company. He underlined that the ruling against Wind-Dam’s dealer will enable ErgoSafe to protect its product from illegal copies throughout the European market.
This legal success is not only a win for ErgoSafe, but it also shows that it is worth investing money in your own innovations and protecting them. It sends a strong signal to the market that imitating or copying protected products, without permission, is unacceptable and will lead to legal consequences.
ErgoSafe will now be able to continue developing and market ClickitUp, strengthening their position as a leading producer of height adjustable glass balustrades.

Design protection helps ClickitUp to stand strong in the market
Together with our partner Bergenstråhle & Partners, we have successfully stopped a number of large European manufacturers and distributors from manufacturing and selling products that infringe on our design protection for the ClickitUp® railing system.
– For our glass railing and us as a company, the result is that we are extremely strong in the market when we continue our expansion in Europe. It also shows that it is worth investing in intellectual property rights when working with innovative products, says ErgoSafe’s CEO Fredrik Johansson.

Recycled plastic from the oceans becomes new material for our glass railings
One of our latest development projects is together with Ackurat, where recycled high-quality plastic from the maritime industry is used to create plastic parts for the ClickitUp series.
– The recent long delivery times and lack of materials have meant that we are actively working to get our suppliers closer to us. Part of this was the plastic parts for ClickitUp that were manufactured in China. I contacted one of our suppliers over 20 years ago and the process was underway, says product and development manager at ErgoSafe, Mårten Johansson.
The exchange of all details for our glass railing ClickitUp® is in line with the journey that ErgoSafe has begun – to work for a circular and sustainable business as much as possible. An initiative linked to the purchasing process is to include the aspect of environmental impact when we look at materials for our products.
“That we recycle waste from the oceans at the same time as we work for the company’s best interests and a sustainable future feels fantastically good,” adds ErgoSafe’s CEO Fredrik Johansson.
