Tesco forced to change Clubcard logo after losing Lidl legal challenge

Tesco Clubcard Prices sign

Tesco has been told to stop using its Clubcard Prices logo after it lost a long-running legal battle with discount rival Lidl.

Lidl had argued that Tesco’s Clubcard Prices logo of a yellow circle on a blue background infringed its copyright and took “unfair advantage” of the discounter’s ”reputation for great value”. 

Last year, the High Court ruled that Tesco had copied Lidl’s logo, but the grocer appealed that decision. Today the Court of Appeal agreed with the High Court’s ruling, leaving Lidl ”delighted” and the UK’s larget grocer “disappointed”.
