British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc & Ors v Microsoft Corporation Microsoft & Anor [2013] EWHC 1826
Iain Purvis QC and Brian Nicholson acted for Sky, in its successful claim against Microsoft over the use of SkyDrive for Microsoft’s cloud storage solution. The claim was founded on infringement of UK and Community trade marks (similar mark/identical goods; similar mark/similar goods and dilution) and for passing off. The Court found that there had been actual confusion and Sky succeeded on all grounds.
