EasyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou has launched legal action against Netflix, claiming the streaming company has breached trademark law with its comedy series Easy.
Sir Stelios said: "I think this is a case of typically arrogant behaviour by a very large American tech company who never bothered to check what legal rights other companies have outside the US."
Guy Wilmot appears in The Independent discussing trademarks, he says: "for easyGroup to succeed, it would have to establish that using the word 'easy' in connection with the Netflix show would lead to a likelihood of confusion with the company’s registered trademarks."

Guy Wilmot is a partner in the corporate and commercial team and advises clients on corporate affairs, start-ups, intellectual property and technology, e-commerce and IT.
