Afikim, the Israeli company which markets the Noam1 mini-bar, is accusing private companies of stealing the patent for its “Shabbos mini-bar” suitable for cold and hot water use on Shabbos with the hechsher of Rav Avrohom Rubin and the Zomet Institute of Halacha and Technology.
The company warned that the mini-bar has an exclusive patent in the United States and Israel and anyone violating it risks a lawsuit.

Ban the bars wherever they are. We don’t need people drinking too much and getting shikur on Shabbos.
This is an appliance for hot/cold water.
