    L’Oréal Wins Domain Dispute Over Impersonation Attempt

    L’Oréal, the global cosmetics giant, has won a dispute over the domain name <lorealgroupe.com> after it was found that the registrant, 'LOREAL GROUPE' was attempting to capitalize on the brand’s name. The domain, registered in June 2024, was flagged by L’Oréal as suspiciously similar to their own trademark. Despite not being used for an active website, the setup of email servers raised concerns that the domain could be used for fraudulent purposes. A panel from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) concluded that the domain was registered in bad faith, noting that L’Oréal’s global reputation made it unlikely the registrant was unaware of the brand. With no response from the domain owner, the panel ordered the domain to be transferred to L’Oréal, reinforcing the company’s efforts to protect its online identity.

    Inditex Boosts Profit as Autumn Collections See Strong Start

    Inditex, the parent company of Zara, reported a 10% increase in half-year net profit to €2.8 billion, with revenues rising 7% to €18 billion in the six months to July. While the growth rate was slower than last year's 13.5%, the results aligned with analysts' predictions, given the challenging conditions for European fashion retailers, including unfavourable summer weather. The company, which operates over 5,600 stores globally and owns brands like Massimo Dutti and Bershka, saw a strong start to its autumn and winter collections, with sales rising 11% between 1 August and 8 September. To stay ahead of competitors like H&M and China's Shein, Inditex is investing in logistics and technology. The chart below shows the leading clothing companies worldwide by market capitalization as of December 2023, positioning Inditex among the top players in the global market.
