U.S.-based Bollinger Motors sues Scotland's Munro Vehicles and Munro designer Ross Compton over the MK_1 EV 4x4 over similarities to the B1 and B2.
At the end of 2021, he made the leap to Munro and worked up the MK_1. With Bollinger having secured financing to bring the B1 and B2 to production, and Munro planning to launch in the U.S. and Canada later this year, Bollinger decided to act. The U.S.-based Bollinger filed suit against All
All Electric Ltd. DBA Munro Vehicles and Compton in United States Southern District Court of New York on January 31, 2023." key brand identifiers, explicitly citing"exposed hardware and hinges, extensive use of flat surfaces, aesthetic chamfered surfaces, flat and parallel body lines, and a distinctive wheel arch shape."
"As a result of time, effort, and money invested in its vehicle trade dress, Bollinger's vehicle trade dress has acquired secondary meaning, significant goodwill, and serves uniquely to identify Bollinger's vehicles," it said. The suit alleges Compton breached his non-disclosure agreement with Bollinger by using confidential Bollinger intellectual property to create the MK_1, and that the MK_1 infringes on Bollinger's original vehicle design patents for the B1 and B2. Bollinger wants a permanent injunction against Munro continuing with the MK_1 as is, all legal and court fees, all profits Munro might have made or might make from the MK_1, and damages from Compton for violating the NDA.
