Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt, LLP

Barbie, Veuve Clicquot Lose Trademark Battles
In a decision on Friday, June 2, 2006, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Mattel Inc. does not have exclusive right to the Barbie name. In a related case, the court ruled against French champagne maker Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin in a seven-year trademark battle with a Quebec women's-clothing line.

Intellectual-property expert and Osler partner Diane Cornish noted that "the Court has sent a clear message to owners of famous marks that although the ”fame” of their mark is a consideration, it does not trump all other considerations."

Furthermore said Cornish, "it will still be necessary to establish in the mind of consumers that the wares and services of the respective parties come from a common source or are in some way associated or 'linked'.
