In Switzerland 🇨🇭, the Commercial Court of Zurich ended the judicial saga between FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) and PUMA regarding the registration and use by the latter of the trade marks ‘PUMA WORLD CUP QATAR 2022’ and ‘PUMA WORLD CUP 2022’.
Addressing only the question of injunctive relief, the Court, considering that there was a risk of infringement by PUMA, ordered it to stop using the trade marks in connection with certain sporting goods, clothing and accessories, that it had been registered for, on the basis of unfair competition and how it might mislead consumers.
