Trunki firm loses Supreme Court case over design | Trunki firm loses Supreme Court case over design |
(35 minutes later) | |
A company that sells children's ride-on suitcases has lost a court battle with a rival over product design. | |
Magmatic - which sells Trunki suitcases decorated to look like animals or insects - said PMS International's Kiddee Case range infringed registered design rights. | |
Five Supreme Court judges who analysed the dispute at a hearing in November have now ruled against Magmatic | |
Lawyers said the ruling will have "profound" design implications. | |
Magmatic founder Rob Law appeared on BBC Two television show Dragons' Den in 2006, unsuccessfully seeking investment for his Trunki case. | |
After he was rejected by the Dragons, he went on to sell more than two million of the suitcases in more than 60 countries. |
