Supreme Court vastly reduces amount of damages for lost profits in trademark infringement case

In the longstanding dispute between Bringwell and Cederroth, the Supreme Court has reduced the amount of damages awarded to Cederroth for lost profits to Skr3,65 million - a vast reduction compared to the amount awarded by the lower courts. Cederroth had previously been restrained from using its MULTITOTAL mark on the ground that such use infringed Bringwell’s MIVITOTAL mark, but had been awarded Skr20 million in damages for lost profits on appeal.
