UPDATE 9 Aug: After a year of uncertainty, @HouseofZana won!
At her hearing, Kotrri represented herself against 5 lawyers who represented Zara. She was told that the verdict will take months to be delivered [and] described the legal process as “grueling” https://t.co/fMVKU2ts4s
Well done to Amber Kottri who runs a boutique called ‘House of Zana’ and has just won a David & Goliath case against @ZARA which claimed she was infringing their trademark.
Sounds likes absurd bullying to me.
A woman who named her sustainable clothing shop after an Albanian mythological figure has won a tribunal against Zara over its claim that she had set up an “identical brand” to that of the high-street giant https://t.co/KKyRfp8Q5x
Good! It was pretty obvious to anyone but Zara that the similarity with #Darlington's @HouseofZana was "too insubstantial", but the fashion giant hasn't really won itself any friends by forcing HoZ owner Amber to defend her trademark bid at a tribunal. https://t.co/YcVzMqWUgM
Amber Kotrri, owner of @HouseofZana says she can now move on following the battle.
Lawyers representing Zara had said the brand was "conceptually identical" to theirs and "confusingly similar" for customers.

Thanks for being with us @HouseofZana. We strongly believe that your brand name is unique, coined and invented by you only. There are no such substantial similarities between both brands. It should be registered with you only.

I'm pleased that #Darlington's now-famous House of Zana - not to be confused with Zara, as if you would - has joined Twitter. Give the shop a follow at @HouseofZana!

@inmonopinion@ZARA Didn't know about House of Zana. Next familiy gift - that's where's I'm going. Next one I'm not - Zara.
If it's a n/a issue, maybe cars should sue cans.
