The story is online, the Telegraph. It states it is us being sued. Presumably on how we have worded it. I haven't a clue about intellectual property rights.

We haven't worded it any way... the logo appears as it does on the packaging of the drink – also, the announcement below has it as two words, whereas Superdry is ® as one word, are they suggesting they own the trademark of two common words? They'll be laughed out of court!

The Government (and the Opposition) are going after Masters. It was clear from the last Select Committee (when he was publically humiliated) they don't trust him an inch.

Master's has quickly earned himself a reputation as a buffoon in many quarters - he is a man without conviction or class - he is a quisling doing other peoples dirty work... and it isn't a good look.

Up there with Beckham looking into copyrighting England and number 7 the stupid prick.

I haven't a clue @dario2739. I would assume it is relatively cheap to lodge papers with the courts so as someone else suggested, is it for publicity or hope City fold and give them some cash.
I wasn't going to start a new thread on something I know nothing about, who at the back shouted 'never stopped you before' ? so I stuck it in here .
Anyway, I'm off to the pub.

You''re right, he has no gravitas, he isn't even a convincing front man. Scudamore, for all his faults and he had many, wasn't a fool, straight off the bat when you heard him speak you knew he was a master of his brief.

Within seconds of Masters opening his mouth, you know you're listening to a ventriloquist dummy for the cartel clubs, and a threadbare one at that.

Surely there must have been many nice and pleasant things that have happened around LFC since then to change this opinion?

I can recall the Heysel killings and the Oldham fan stabbed in the back. I remember City coaches getting smashed up when we took flags commemorating the Hilsborough disaster. Then they colluded with Merseyside police to attack our team bus. I better stop there.

I’ve got friends who are Liverpool fans who are too geezers but I despise their club, overall.

They are probably suing us, rather than Asahi, because we've used it on clothing.

Superdry will have a trademark for clothing, but probably not one for drinks (although some brands do have wider trademarks).

Ww actually haven't – we've only used their logo on clothing.

Masters seems to be doing his best to destroy the Premier League’s brand. He is attacking the people who invest in PL clubs with his absurd FFP crusade. Not just City either. Why should Newcastle or Everton not be allowed to grow. Merseyside and the North East can’t afford to turn away investment. It is pure madness.

I wouldn't be so quick to think an independent regulator will good for us.

Like everything with this government they are policy and detail light and everything is for a quick headline.

Plenty of Islamaphobes in positions of power too.

They've jumped in to try and stop Sheikh Mansours part purchase of The Telegraph based on very little other than they think a foreign owner will be bad for journalists - they're ok with Murdoch and other non-dom tax avoiders though.

You are right. Most regulators in the UK are useless but hopefully they won’t be corrupt and biased like UEFA, FIFA, and the PL.

Yep - it all depends on what categories are included in the trade mark.
As they have gone legal, it does suggest they have the category for
drinks included. I'm pretty sure the club would be able to
pass on any liability to the Asahi as it is their trademark infringement,
not theirs.
Might get interesting though...

I don't think they need the drink category.

I think they're going after City rather than Asahi, because we're selling clothing with Super Dry written on it. So Asahi might not have infringed their trademark ,whereas City *may* have.

By "their logo", do you mean Asahi?

I'm not an expert on this, but I think the point is that Asahi may be able to get away with a drink that used the word "super dry", but if Asahi used it on clothing then they'd be infringing Super Dry's trademark. As City are doing that, then City *may* be the ones that have an issue.
