Both Auping and Phi-ton sell beds and mattresses. Phi-ton advertises with the slogan "you've never slept this well" and "the highest comfort for all ages".
Auping advertises with the slogan "no bed ventilates better" (the commercial in which 1200 liters of water falls on the mattress).
Upon which, Phi-ton demanded a ban based on misleading advertising.
Nonsense, according to the judge, stating that the average consumer understands the exaggeration. According to the judge, a claim like this constitutes a prime example of ‘the pot calling the kettle black’.
A little exaggeration is accepted in advertising, especially if you can back the claims up with research.

Abcor specializes in applying for trademark and design rights. We do this worldwide for both SMEs and international companies, but often everything starts with an initial Benelux application. Our aim is to relieve the client of all the worries, which is why we take care of all the steps, from initial advice on what to apply for and how, right through to registration.
In addition to applying for trademarks, we also manage portfolios for our clients. We ensure that trademarks are renewed on time, that the right organizations are paid (given the many fraudulent companies), and we support our clients on issues.
In addition, we are sparring partners for our customers on new products and how to shape and claim new ideas.
