A luxury car manufacturer has been ordered to destroy a range of clothing merchandise after losing a trademark battle with a fashion company.
It meant the car firm could not use the name Bentley on its UK clothing range.
Now, after losing an appeal against the ruling, the manufacturer has been told to destroy clothes featuring the Bentley logo by 3 February.
The 2019 ruling meant Bentley Motors would no longer be able to use the name, either on its own or in conjunction with its distinctive logo, on its clothing range in the UK.

Toby Walne When it comes to making money there are few better companies built for a laissez-faire bare-knuckle fight than Ryanair. Ryanair sucks us dry as a result of our own volition. And it does not matter how much impish Irish boss Michael O Leary treats passengers with disdain – people always come back for more if the flights are cheap enough. There could also well be carnage on the runways over the next few months as other less ruthless airlines collapse – leaving space for Europe s biggest carrier to fill. Ryanair has recently ordered no fewer than 210 new Boeing 737 MAX jets, so it seems to be gearing up for world domination , says Toby Walne

It has been a decade since his younger brother Timothy Wallis, 26, vanished.
He was last seen in Dunedin in August 2010. After six years and no sightings, he was declared dead by the coroner in 2016.

After a decade of pain, all his family wanted was closure, Lees said. Ten years is a long time. We ve suffered for years and years trying to find him it s the not knowing that s the hardest part.

Real estate investors know to “beware good houses in bad neighborhoods,” says Christopher Lees, co-manager of the
JOHCM Global Equity fund. This wisdom is every bit as true for equity markets, where neighborhoods are influenced not by school quality nor commute times, but by market cycles, macroeconomics, and secular trends.
Think of the average bank stock since the financial crisis, a period marked by low interest rates and quantitative easing. “Even the best banks haven’t been particularly good investments because the neighborhood was so bad,” says Lees, 53. Contrast that with the digital economy, an area so desirable that even imperfect companies have seen their stock valuations soar.
