Utenos Trikotažas and the German company About You settled their disputes over the trademark About

2024 m. gruodžio 10 d.

Aboutwear, a subsidiary of SBA company Utenos Trikotažas, has concluded a settlement with About You GmbH, a German company, to end the dispute over the trademark About. Under the agreement signed on 9 December, the German company paid a compensation of EUR 2 million to Aboutwear, which, in return, transferred its controlled trademarks.

"We have reached an amicable settlement with the German company in a dispute that lasted four years. We are transferring the trademarks with the 'About' designation to 'About You GmbH' and discontinuing the legal processes we initiated in Europe and Lithuania. The compensation received, after covering the costs related to this process, will be used to implement the company’s restructuring approved this year," says Vytautas Vaškys, Chairman of the Board of Utenos Trikotažas.

According to Mr. Vaškys, under the agreement, Utenos Trikotažas subsidiary Aboutwear has transferred the trademarks ABOUT BALTIC UNDERWEAR and ABOUT THE SENSOLOGY OF WEAR to the German company and has committed to change its name so that it will no longer use the "About" mark.

The compensation received may be significant in the restructuring case of Utenos Trikotažas, which was approved by the Panevėžys Regional Court on 8 October. Utenos Trikotažas is currently implementing a four-year restructuring plan approved by its shareholders and creditors.
