The Aubrey Masango Show - A podcast by 702

On Legal Matters, Marius Gerber, Intellectual Property Specialist at Witz Incorporated Inc., about a court case between Checkers and PnP regarding the Forage and Feast range which was sold first by Checkers and PnP ended having similar product sold in their stores and Checkers felt that PnP had infringed upon its common law rights in the form of goodwill and reputation associated with the Forest and Feast range and the Western Cape court found in favour of Checkers  that the PnP’s range’s appearance and packaging was "nearly indistinguishable" from the Forage and Feast range sold by Checkers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
