The Court ruled that the defendant, a former dealer of a selective distribution car network, by using plaintiff’s well-known trademarks, gives the misleading impression to consumers that he is still an authorised dealer of said network and he is therefore ordered to remove -within 10 days from the service of the decision- the signage containing the well-known trademarks of the plaintiffs’ and to cease and desist from the using such trademarks.
Moreover, the Court obliged the defendant to stop all actions which constitute unfair competition towards the plaintiffs and imposed a monetary penalty of € 1.000 for each future infringement of the decision by the defendant.
Nikos Grigoriadis argued for plaintiffs.
