The claimant, which operated a state secondary school in London known as “Cranford Community College”, brought an action for passing off against the defendant, which traded as “Cranford College” and which operated in the same area. The Intellectual Property and Enterprise Court, in dismissing the claim, held, among other things, that, on the evidence, no goodwill or misrepresentation had been established.
