      Yeah I went in there to buy a leather handbag and came out with a budgie. It was very confusing for me but I’m an idiot. I don’t expect a person of normal intelligence would struggle to tell the difference.

      They’ll be going after kabab shop workers next. “Chilli sauce boss”.

      > A Liverpool pet products company, Boss Pets, has been told to take down its website after the fashion house Hugo Boss said its name was infringing its trademark.

      They should change their name to Hugo Fuhrer instead to avoid confusion.

      “Boss” is a part of Scouse life. No one is going to confuse a pet shop with a clothes shop.

      Hope he stands his ground, that’s not how a trademark works

      Fair enough. They have a right to defend their trademark.

      Just as everyone else has a right to remind people at every opportunity that Hugo Boss was literally a fucking nazi who used prisoners of war as slave labour to make uniforms for the SS.

      Let’s all exercise our rights as freely and as often as possible.

      I wonder if the comedian Hugo Boss has anything to say about this?

      Protecting a “trade” mark obliges them to have an vested in the “trade” used, so they’re now saying they sell pet food and pet products… Or it’s fraudulent.

      Usually when these sorts of trademark disputes come up it’s based on the grounds that the ‘infringing’ name would cause confusion as it’s too similiar to the trademark. So say if someone owns a trademark for Daisy and it’s a perfume company they can’t go after a bakery using the name Daisy if it’s reasonable to assume people would not confuse Daisy the perfume company with Daisy the bakery. If you look at the Hugo Boss website[ they do actually sell pet accessories](https://www.hugoboss.com/uk/men-dog-accessories/) so it does seem they may actually have some grounds to raise a case here.

      (Doesn’t mean it’s not shitty behaviour though)

      I though ‘Boss’ was a commonly used slang term which means great or excellent. Hugo Boss can get fucked.
