BRUSSELS (Reuters) - French luxury house Chanel on Wednesday lost its trademark fight with Huawei Technologies after a top European court said their logos bear no similarity to each other.
The trademark spat underlines how luxury brands jealously guard their signature logos and trademarks that often symbolise luxury, style and exclusivity to millions of people worldwide.
The dispute dated to 2017 when Huawei sought approval from the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), a trademark body, to register its computer hardware trademark which has two vertical interlocking semi-circles.

UPDATE 1-Ryanair loses court challenges to SAS, Finnair state aid in new setbacks Reuters 3 hrs ago
By Foo Yun Chee
BRUSSELS, April 14 (Reuters) - Ryanair on Wednesday had another setback in its fight against state aid for rival airlines after Europe s second-highest court again backed EU competition regulators approval of support for SAS and Finnair.
Europe s biggest budget airline has filed 16 lawsuits against the European Commission for allowing state aid to individual airlines such as Lufthansa, KLM, Austrian Airlines and TAP, as well as national schemes that mainly benefit flag carriers.
The EU competition watchdog has to date cleared more than 3 trillion euros ($3.6 trillion) to help virus-hit companies across the 27-country bloc. The airline industry has been among the hardest hit due to lockdowns and travel restrictions.
