Personal interest, case XXIV C 1035/10
March 14th, 2013, Tomasz Rychlicki
The District Court in Warsaw in its judgment of 13 March 2013 case file XXIV C 1035/10 ruled that the “Zielone Światło” (Green Light) Foundation infringed personal rights of Allegro, such as reputation and fame. The Court decided that the demonstrations against the sale of Nazi memorabilia and interference with the logo of the portal were too excessive and bore the risk of linking the portal with Nazi organizations. The judgment is not final.

Unfair competition, case I ACa 1270/10
Additionally, they raised that any potential claim the Croatians might have had, had long expired. Pursuant to article 20 of the Polish Act of 16 April 1993 on Combating Unfair Competition – CUC – (in Polish: ustawa o zwalczaniu nieuczciwej konkurencji), Journal of Laws (Dziennik Ustaw) No. 47, item 211, with later amendments, the statute of limitation for the unfair competition claims arising under the Act shall be 3 years (very much the same as in case of trade mark infringements). In the meantime (in 2003), Podravka Polska became aware of the infringement. However, it waited to file the lawsuit for 5 years (sic!), and finally did in 2008. And because of that undue delay, the court of I instance dismissed the suit justifying that if the daughter company had been aware of the infringement, so must have had the mother company. Podravka stressed that when it came to this particular type of infringement, each and every violation (i.e. each subsequent pitch of illegally marked goods) constituted a separate infringement, from the date of which the statute of limitations ran anew. And because the last pitch of the infringing goods was sold by the respondents in 2007, the statute of limitation has not run yet. But the Court of Appeals held differently. According to the Court, it is only the very first infringement that matters when it comes to computing the 3 years’ statute of limitation. However, the Court emphasized that this should apply solely to the Polish daughter company as it could not be proved with certainty that the Croatian mother company had been aware of the infringements already back in 2003. As as result, the Court decided that this aspect of the case should be remanded for more thorough investigation. Once again, it has been shown that the issue of the statute of limitation in unfair competition claims can be highly troublesome and complicated. It also teaches a lesson that every IP right holder should be aware of the fact that his inaction in terms of the enforcement might not only result in the expiration of the statute of limitation but also in the dilution of his right via the strengthening of the competitor’s brand.
