- Title
Don't touch my Ferrari! Unofficial fan clubs may infringe trade marks of their favourite sport teams.
- Authors
Giannino, Michele
- Abstract
The Italian Court of Cassation has ruled that a trade mark owner acquiesces in the use of his mark by a third party when he tolerates for five years such use and the third party registers that mark; accordingly, an unofficial fan club of a sport team that uses the mark of that team in the course of an economic activity, in which the trade mark owner did not acquiesce, might infringe that trade mark.
