Afro Leo wonders if you
can still get spare parts for
this BMW Isetta ... |
"BMW 'astonished' by defeat in South African design infringement case" is the title of
this article in
Business Day which appears to be as much a trade mark infringement matter rather than a design dispute. The defeat follows a 13-year battle regarding the importation of spare parts into South Africa and an associated design infringement case launched by BMW which it lost last week and presumably may appeal.
Writing on the
Automotives + IP LinkedIn Group, Lee Curtis (Harrison Goddard Foote, England) asks if anyone has any further information about this case. If you can help him, please do. You can post information below or email him
here.
