Dispute Summary
Diageo Brands B.V. filed suit against Great Galleon Ventures Limited alleging that the latter was fraudulently imitating its 'Hipster' bottle, which is protected by a Registered Design (No. 306577). The Plaintiffs sought an injunction to prevent further infringement and passing off of their distinctive trade dress. While the court found similarities in the overall get-up, it ultimately granted an interim injunction based solely on design infringement, but declined the claim related to passing off.
