Supermarket chain Aldi copied the look of Marks & Spencer’s “Instagrammable” festive gin bottles, the British retailer has argued at the High Court.
M&S has sued its German rival for allegedly infringing the design of its “light up gin bottles” sold during Christmas 2020, whose “wow factor” it believes “got the nation talking”, the court was told.
The dispute comes in the wake of a now settled copyright row between the two retailers which saw M&S accuse Aldi of copying its Colin the Caterpillar cake.
