Montres Breguet S.A & ors (claimants/respondents) v Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (defendant/appellant)

Tuesday 5 – Wednesday 6 December 2023

This is an appeal against the Order of Falk J (as she then was) dated 15 July 2023.

The claim was brought by several major Swiss watch companies, each with different trade mark rights and distinct reputations.

At trial, trade mark infringement on the part of Samsung was established. The claim arose out of the commercialisation of digital “watch faces” (or “dials”) for its smartwatches.

Although a third-party “app developer” developed each of the apps, Samsung controlled the process by which the apps were made available.
