Sinkie Vs FT 1:0

[Darthrevan]

The American owner of sandwich giant Subway has lost its trademark infringement suit against local snack chain Subway Niche.

 

In a 46-page written judgment on Wednesday, High Court judge Judith Prakash ruled in favour of Subway Niche's sole proprietor Lim Eng Wah.

 

Justice Prakash ruled that although Subway Niche's trademark is similar to that of Subway's, there was no real evidence of a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public.

 

The judge noted that Mr Lim, who set up his first stall in 1987, had taken pains to distinguish his goods from Subway's.

Why need to write a 46-page judgement for such a simple case. I thought judges have been angry and throw out cases where lawyers are being too long-winded in their defense submission?
