The two-year patent fight between Esure and Direct Line is set to continue as Esure appealed a recent High Court decision, Post learnt.
Earlier this month, a High Court judge found in favour of Direct Line in the patent fight over a “mouse on wheels.” The court believed that the use of Esure's patent would take unfair advantage of, or be detrimental to, Direct Line's similar mark. However, the Court did not think that Direct Line successfully proved confusion in the minds of the public would ensue.
Esure told Post it had appealed the decision to the Court of Appeal.
Commenting on the High Court decision, a spokeswoman for Esure told Post: “The judge agreed with Esure on the substantive point that there would be no likelihood of confusion between Esure's mouse on wheels and Direct Line's telephone on wheels, so we are disappointed with the final decision.”
