PARIS — Nestle SA has launched a patent-infringement lawsuit against U.S. rival Sara Lee Corp. over a product that it says unfairly uses its popular capsule-based Nespresso coffee machines, the Swiss food giant said Tuesday.
Nestle said it is suing Sara Lee in France, where the U.S. company recently launched its own coffee capsules — L’Or Espresso — that are compatible with Nestle’s Nespresso coffee makers. The Swiss company said it was acting “to defend our intellectual property rights.”
