Logos ban on copy Rolls

NZPA-Reuter Adelaide An Australian court has ruled that the makers of a cheap imitation Rolls-Royce limousine cannot use look-alike mascots and logos on the cars. Federal Court Judge Trevor Morling granted an injunction to RollsRoyce preventing an Adelaide manufacturer, Creative Cars, from using a Rolls-Royce style grille or the British company’s “Flying Lady” mascot and in-terlocking-R emblem. Creative Cars was also ordered not to use the Rolls-Royce name or photographs of RollsRoyce cars in promoting its look-alike vehicle, the “Glammer.” The Adelaide company plans to sell the copy car, which resembles the sAust3oo,ooo ($397,000.) Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, for about sAust3o,ooo ($39,700). Rolls-Royce lawyers told the court that the British company felt the level of copying was so high there was an attempt to pass off the car as genuine.

Creative Cars’ managing director, Geoff Heard, said later, the company had never intended to use the RollsRoyce symbols and would continue to market the Glammer with a grille similar to that of a Rolls-Royce but without what he called “the Greek temple effect on the top.”
