A family-run clothing business has triumphed for a second time in a “David and Goliath” court battle against luxury car manufacturer Bentley over a long-running trademark dispute.
In November last year, a High Court judge concluded the car maker had infringed the trademark rights of Manchester-based Bentley Clothing by using the Bentley name on its own range of goods.
The result of the ruling was that Bentley Motors would no longer be able to use the name – either on its own or in conjunction with its famous “wings” logo – on its clothing range in the UK.
It also meant it would have to limit its range in future to “jackets, silk ties, caps and scarves” and would not be allowed to sell other types of clothing or headgear.

A luxury car manufacturer has lost its appeal against a ruling which said it infringed the copyright of a family-run clothing company.
In November 2019, the High Court ruled Bentley Motors (BM) had infringed the copyright of Manchester-based Bentley Clothing (BC).
It meant the car firm could not use the name Bentley on its UK clothing range.
Dismissing BM s case, judges at the Court of Appeal said there was no basis for interfering with the ruling.
The 2019 ruling meant BM would no longer be able to use the name, either on its own or in conjunction with its famous wings logo, on its clothing range in the UK and would have to limit its range in future to jackets, silk ties, caps and scarves .
