Ferragamo’s trademark “Gancini”: the decision of the Court of Cassation.
The Court of Cassation ruled on the alleged infringement of the “Gancini” trademark, owned by Salvatore Ferragamo spa, by Ripani Italiana Pelletterie srl, and, by reforming the appeal judgement that excluded the counterfeiting, referred the matter to the competent Court of Appeal. The mechanism used by Ripani, indeed, is completely similar to the violated mark, whose shape recalls the greek letter omega “Ω”.This is what stated by the Court of Cassation with the ordinance n. 26001 of 17.10.2018.
