Women’s fashion designer Pinnacle Runway must pay indemnity costs for pursuing what a judge has described as an “ill-advised” trade mark infringement lawsuit against a rival that “cried out to be settled”.
A software company is suing a subsidiary of AMP for breach of contract after the financial services firm allegedly induced 11 employees to jump ship after licensing its online advisor platform.
Women’s fashion designer Pinnacle Runway is challenging a ruling that found a rival’s use of the name ‘Delphine’ to describe a bikini style did not constitute trade mark infringement, but the challenge might cost more than the fight is worth, after a judge found the company had already spent “many times more in legal costs” then it could hope to recover.
