<\/div>\n\/\/<\/span> Lidl looks to take a share of any profit made by Tesco from its Clubcard discount scheme<\/h6>\n\/\/ <\/span>The discounter is seeking financial disclosure from Tesco to try to establish what profit it may have made from the trademark infringement<\/h6>\nLidl could snap up a share of profits made from Tesco\u2019s Clubcard scheme as a result of copying Lidl\u2019s logo, London\u2019s High Court heard this week.<\/p>\n
The German-owned grocer\u00a0sued the UK\u2019s biggest retailer back in 2020 shortly after Tesco adopted a yellow circle against a blue background to promote its Clubcard Prices discount scheme.<\/p>\n
In February, the two retailers traded allegations of copying brands and deceiving customers but Lidl\u00a0won the case\u00a0last month, with a judge ruling Tesco had \u201ctaken unfair advantage of the distinctive reputation\u201d for low prices held by Lidl\u2019s trademarks.<\/p>\n

Tesco lawyers said it could be impossible to establish how much profit may be linked to the use of Lidl\u2019s logo for the Clubcard scheme, but Lidl\u2019s legal team said it could be huge.<\/p>\n
Lawyer Benet Brandreth said in court filings: \u201cTesco is responsible for around a quarter of the UK\u2019s entire supermarket share and Lidl for approximately 7%.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver three years that amounts to many millions of customers and billions of pounds of turnover and profit. If even a fractional percentage of that trade is attributable to the infringement, the resulting sums are huge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lidl is seeking financial disclosure from Tesco, including revenue and operating profit for Tesco as a whole and from Clubcard holders to calculate what profit Tesco may have made from infringing its trademark.<\/p>\n
On Monday both businesses agreed to try and resolve the issue of disclosure, after which Lidl must decide whether to seek damages or an account of profits made by Tesco.<\/p>\n
Lidl has also asked for an injunction to prevent Tesco from infringing its trademark. Both sides agree any steps to remove Clubcard Prices logos from Tesco stores should be put on hold pending any appeal.<\/p>\n
