Earlier, we reported that the British billionaire James Arthur ratcliffe (James? Arthur. Ineos, founded by ratcliffe E), will build a hard-core off-road vehicle named Grenadier based on the classic Land Rover Defender. However, Jaguar Land Rover initiated a patent lawsuit, trying to defend the design patent of Land Rover Defender through litigation. However, the British Intellectual Property Office believes that the classic design of Land Rover Defender is not "unique" or a trademark, and the British court also ruled that the design of Land Rover Defender is not original and cannot produce high recognition for ordinary consumers. Therefore, Ineos can continue to push forward its grenadier plan according to the established plan, and Jaguar Land Rover is disappointed. They say that the classic Land Rover Defender design can be protected as a trademark in several other markets.
