Title: Reach n Wash logo
Post by: burky-boy on July 07, 2008, 06:52:18 pm
Does anybody have EPS file for the Reach & Wash System logo.
I know this is sticky ground with not having ionics sytem fitted although i do hav a more then a few grand in there poles but i have heard that does not qualify me to use there logo either.
But i was reading this in the sun news paper

COMPANIES are now free to use trademarks of rivals in ads after a landmark court ruling.

The European Court of Justice opened a free-for-all after ruling mobile phone operator 3 had not been in the wrong when using the bubbles logos of O2 while comparing prices in an ad four years ago.

Marc Allera, of 3, said: “This decision is pro-competition.”

O2 said: “We were vigorously defending our trademark.”

what are you going to do with it ? say I dont use reach and wash system?, passing off is a total different kettle of fish,

you cant use there logo on your van and have a different system fitted as they will come down on you and if you can afford the court case is it worth it, then for a few hundred quid you could have another logo designed  ::)

IMO thats copy right you are talking about, not trade marks.
both can land you in hot water and is really not worth the hassle, it could cost you thousands to test it out.

Ask your new custys if they have heard of pure water cleaning and they will probaby say now, let alone heard of a tiny company making systems for it.
