Rival supermarket giants Lidl and Tesco are set to spend £2.35m fighting each other in court over claims Tesco have ripped off Lidl’s logo.
Lidl claim that Tesco are exploiting the background to their trademarked logo - a blue square containing a yellow circle with a thin red border - to promote Clubcard discounts to their own customers.
The German supermarket says the yellow circle with red border on the blue background is a “wordless” trademark even without the Lidl name on it and are seeking to ban Tesco from using a similar background on their “Clubcard Prices” signs at their stores.
