Lunar Holdings Ltd v Lunar Automotive Ltd, [2020] EWHC 3415 (IPEC)
Area of Law: Intellectual PropertyIn this case, Thomas Braithwaite blended IP and company law when he appeared in the IPEC for the defendants who were accused of breach of a trade mark licence. A summary judgment application was defeated on the grounds that the claimant arguably did not have good title to the trade mark, having acquired it by way of an unlawful return of capital and disguised distribution by a company to its shareholder.
