Today we’re going to be talking about the trademark spat between luxury house Chanel and tech giant Huawei.
French luxury house Chanel on Wednesday lost its trademark fight with Huawei Technologies after a top European court said their logos bear no similarity to each other.
The dispute dated to 2017 when Huawei sought approval from the EU Intellectual Property Office, a trademark body, to register its computer hardware trademark which has two vertical interlocking semi-circles.
