BMW win appeal in Technosport trade mark case

Almost exactly a year ago, on 17 June last year, we reported a case in the Intellectual Property enterprise Court in whcih BMW had sued a company called Technosport London for trade mark infringement and passing off. At the time, we questioned why such a case might even have got to court, but noted that the defendant won on one count of trade mark infringement although it lost on three and on passing off. Now BMW has won its appeal on the claim on which it lost first time round.
