According to an article published by The Telegraph on September 23rd, the Icelandic government may soon take British supermarket Iceland to court. If the lawsuit becomes reality, there’s a chance that Iceland supermarkets will have to change their name after 45 years in the frozen food industry. The problem is, Iceland Foods’ trademark means that businesses in Iceland are unable to use the word in their titles. Worryingly, many Icelandic companies who have used ‘Iceland’ in their brand name have been sued by the supermarket even when the company is in a completely different industry.
Causing Confusion
Speaking to the press, a Iceland Foods representative stated: “We’ve traded under the Iceland name since 1970 and today we are one of the most recognised brands. We have also traded in EU countries, and other non-EU countries, including Iceland. We were not aware that the use of the Iceland name has ever caused confusion with Iceland, the country.” We’re not sure about this statement considering the problem doesn’t appear to be that people confuse Iceland stores with the country, more that Icelandic companies can’t use the name of their country.
