Successfully Represented the Famous Baby Bag Company GITTABAGS against Philips – Avent in a Passing Off case

Adv. Sivan represented the well known Baby bag designer GITTA BAGS in a case of alleged registered design infringement and passing off against local companies together with Philips Electronics – Avent.

The District Court accepted the motion to serve the statment of claims to Philips Electronics – Avent filed by Adv. Sivan and ruled in a precedent decision that a trademark owner may be liable, if he doesn’t prevent the ongoing use of his trademark on a product which allegedly infringes the rights of others, even if the use of his trademark is without his permission (adv. Sivan was at that time an associate at Furth Wilenski Mizrhachi Knaani Law Office).

Eventually the case was settled.
