Following last year’s legal action against Sainsbury’s, Nador Cott Protection has reportedly taken action against another major retailer in the UK over the sale of Tango/Tang Gold mandarins
Nador Cott Protection (NCP) has revealed that it has taken legal action against a second major retailer in the UK over what it says is the “unauthorised sale” of Tango/Tang Gold mandarins.
In January 2024, NCP commenced its first proceedings against UK retailer Sainsbury’s, with a settlement being reached in October.
“In October 2024, NCP and Sainsbury’s settled the dispute on the basis that Sainsbury’s changed its product specification and removed Tang Gold from sale pending the outcome of other proceedings concerning Tang Gold and/or Nadorcott,” NCP stated.
This new infringement action represents an intensification of NCP’s efforts to protect its rights over the Nadorcott variety, not least concerning the use of Tango/Tang Gold.
“NCP will continue to defend its exclusive rights in Nadorcott and reserves the right to take all appropriate measures to prevent unauthorised exploitation of its intellectual property in all relevant jurisdictions,” it concluded.
