Copyright victory for owners of ‘Dr Martens’ Logo
01/02/2005
The British Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of R Griggs Group Ltd. in a battle over the copyright of the Dr Martens logo that has spanned 17 years.
In 1988, Griggs commissioned an advertising agency, who in turn commissioned a freelancer, Ross Evans, to combine its existing “Dr Martens” and “Air Wair” logos into one mark.
