Firstmac trademark dispute
The High Court of Australia upheld a Federal Court finding that Zip Co infringed intellectual property associated with Firstmac’s earlier registered use of “Zip” for a loan product. The court rejected Zip’s reliance on an honest-concurrent-use defence, according to the referenced account, finding that Zip had deliberately targeted the earlier mark.
