UK: Future v. Edge (High Court Chancery Division), 13 june 2011

Image

Copyright in logo: US companies involved in the business of computer games had infringed copyright in the logo of a computer gaming magazine ("EDGE"), by using it on letterhead, website and games. The Court found the logo sufficiently original to qualify for copyright protection. Defendant's use amounted to copyright infringement, passing-off and breach of a trading agreement with the publisher of the magazine. (Stavroula Karapapa &  Maurizio Borghi, Brunel University).
