We report on EasyGroup v Easyfundraising, in which the High Court’s judgment reaffirmed previous decisions that easyGroup does not hold a monopoly on the word “easy”. We also cover the High Court’s judgment in Shorts International v Google which considered whether the use of certain signs relating to the ‘YouTube Shorts’ service constituted trade mark infringement and passing off of marks involving the element ‘SHORTSTV’. Finally, we report on AGA Rangemaster v UK Innovations Group, where the High Court found that UK Innovations’ use of AGA’s marks in relation to retrofitted AGA cookers constituted trade mark infringement.
