A HORSE BY ANY OTHER NAME

The jockey formerly known as Richard Dunwoody

The Daily Telegraph reports that former champion jump jockey will be faced with a large legal bill if he wants to get the commercial use of his name back from a former business associate, Mike Diamandis. The business relationship ended after 12 months, leaving Diamandis in control of the Dunwoody Sports Marketing name brand and logo for the publication of football programmes and racecards. Dunwoody has expressed his annoyance at the fact that consumers get confused and come to him with complaints about Diamandis’ business. However, he says that he cannot afford to mount a legal challenge against Diamndis’ use. Diamandis is unapologetic, pointing to his investment in the Dunwoody brand. He says that he has offered Dunwoody the opportunity to pay for a rebranding of his business.

The IPKat notes that similar issues have been raised in the Elizabeth Emanuel case, which has been referred to the ECJ.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
