It has been decided that Peugeot Motorcycles will stop promoting its Metropolis three-wheeled scooter. Peugeot Motorcycles has additionally been requested to pay a heavy superb of 1.5 million Euros by a courtroom in France, along with additional penalties for infringement and authorized bills. The Piaggio Group appears to have received the primary occasion of patent infringement fits in opposition to Peugeot Motorcycles in Paris and Milan. Both the Tribunal Judiciaire of Paris and the Court of Milan had discovered Peugeot Motorcycles responsible for infringing a European patent on the know-how of the Piaggio MP3 three-wheeled scooter with the Peugeot Metropolis mannequin.
In France and Italy, the three-wheeled maxi-scooters are quite popular, so the ban on Metropolis comes as a great blow to Peugeot Motorcycles, which is entitled to appeal both rulings. The company has not yet made its legal strategy public. If the brand decides not to pursue the legal battle further, or if it loses its appeal, we expect a re-engineering process.
