Two leading
insulation firms are fighting a High Court battle over claims
about the fire safety of their products. Kingspan asserts that
the tests were not appropriate for the product and did not reflect
how it would be used in real life. It is questioning whether Rockwool
should have the protection of laws covering competitive advertising.If
the court finds that Rockwool’s advertising is not covered
by EU directive- derived laws that protect comparative advertising,
it could open the way for Kingspan to seek damages over trademark
infringement and allow it to take out an injunction against Rockwool
to prevent it using Kingspan trademarks in its advertising in
future.
