Tesco Loses Appeal in Trademark Dispute with Lidl

The supermarket giant must rebrand its Clubcard Prices logo, facing potential additional costs.

Tesco has lost its appeal against a High Court ruling that it infringed Lidl's trademark by using a similar yellow circle logo for its Clubcard Prices scheme.
The Court of Appeal's decision means Tesco must change its Clubcard Prices branding, a move that could incur significant costs.
Despite the ruling, Tesco reassures customers that the change in branding will not affect the Clubcard Prices programme, which offers discounts to members.
Lidl has the right to seek compensation for trademark infringement, potentially adding to Tesco's financial burden.
The legal dispute began after Tesco introduced a logo for its Clubcard Prices that closely resembled Lidl's distinctive yellow circle on a blue background logo.
