Allied Imports Ltd’s trademark infringement case was admitted to the Commercial Court, reported on 10 October 2017. The alleged products were being sold in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, and online.

The company and director Robert Scanlan allege Kavanagh Giftware Ltd used Tipperary Crystal marks on packaging for goods including mugs and cups. Kavanagh’s lawyers rejected the intellectual property infringement claims.

Mr Justice Brian McGovern considered the case suitable for the fast-track list. The plaintiffs seek injunctions, destruction of the allegedly infringing goods and damages, with the matter due back before the court in February.
