After winning a High Court battle against Amazon for selling "misleading" products that were made to look and sound like Lush products — despite Lush not selling through Amazon — Lush's new form of attack is quite clever.
According to the Guardian, Lush's founders asked Amazon to resolve the issue out of court "17 times before we went to court," but "after a while you realise you're being bullied."
Lush announced the High Court "recognises Lush's intellectual property rights after they brought trade mark infringement proceedings against Amazon," and that it acknowledges that Lush had "taken the decision not to allow its goods to be sold on Amazon."
The High Court also concluded that by Amazon using the Lush sign in the course of trade "clearly damages the origin function and the advertising and investment functions of the Lush trade mark."
