Lewis Hamilton loses three-years long legal battle against luxury watchmakers ‘Hamilton’ as the brand created in 1892 holds copyright over the name.
Lewis Hamilton may be is the master of the track but has conceded a key battle in court against the luxury watchmaker brand ‘Hamilton’ as per a report by the Dailymail.
The Swiss brand which has been functioning since 1892 was dragged into the legal battle by the Formula 1 champion three years ago when the former registered ‘Hamilton’ as its trademark, giving them the exclusive right to use the name across Europe.
Lawyers for the Mercedes star’s company 44IP tried to void the application and claimed it had been filed in ‘bad faith,’ thwarted ‘fair competition’ and had not even been used.
