AMS Neve Ltd v Heritage Audio [2016] EWHC 2563 (IPEC)
Jurisdiction challenge for the defendants in a trade mark and passing off dispute. The Court declined jurisdiction in relation to the claim of EU trade mark infringement, following Case C-360/12 Coty Germany GmbH v First Note Perfumes NV [2014] ETMR 49, on the basis that the decisions about the content of the First Defendant’s website were made in Spain and therefore the alleged acts of infringement were carried out there, not in the UK where the website could be viewed.
Jacqueline Reid acted for the Defendant.
