Thanks to case law data extracted from the Darts-ip database, we’ve compiled a unique set of facts and figures ranking the most hotly debated decisions concerning product comparisons.
Our data set, which helped us generate this “Top 10” list, compiled cases from the very beginning of our collection in 2000 through the end of 2017. For your convenience, arguments defending and challenging similarity, as described by some of the decisions, have been captured.
For some of the “couples” listed in this report, there are very few discrepancies between countries or areas, whereas for others, the outcome may very well surprise you!
