[Commons-Law] Barbie v Barbie

[TAHIR AMIN]

An interesting case, where Mattel failed to prevent
Barbie (Anderson-Walley) calling her store Barbie's
Store , which sells latex outfits and bondage gear! In
Europe at least, the own name defence in relation to
use of a surname which is identicalto a registered
trade mark does not hold water if it is likely to
confuse.
