We previously reported that Ineos, founded by British billionaire James Arthur Ratcliffe, will build a model based on the classic Land Rover Defender. A hard-core off-road model, this model is called Grenadier. However, Jaguar Land Rover launched a patent lawsuit in an attempt to defend the Land Rover Defender's design patent through litigation. However, the British Intellectual Property Office believed that the design of the classic Land Rover Defender was not a "unique" or distinctive trademark, and the British court also ruled The design of the Land Rover Defender is not original and cannot be highly recognizable to ordinary consumers. Therefore, Ineos can continue to advance its Grenadier plan as planned. Jaguar Land Rover is very disappointed. They said that the design of the classic Land Rover Defender can be protected as a trademark in several other markets.
