LJ in Glaxo Wellcome UK Ltd v Sandoz Ltd
[2019] EWHC 2545 (Ch); [2021] RPC 27
Key Principle
A claimant relying on a single colour as the badge of origin in a passing-off claim must establish that the colour, on its own, has acquired distinctive goodwill denoting trade origin; mere extensive use of a colour for a product does not by itself give rise to protectable goodwill in that colour.
