Toblerone owner sues British vegan chocolate brand over chunky shape

Mondelēz, the owner of Toblerone, has initiated legal proceedings in the London high court against Catherine’s Originals, a small British vegan chocolate brand. The lawsuit alleges trademark infringement and passing off, claiming the O’bar copies the distinctive chunky shape and semi-oval humps of the Swiss chocolate bar. The owner of Catherine’s Originals has strongly denied these claims, describing the legal action as frightening while contesting the accusations brought forward by the global confectionery giant.
