> The European Court of Justice ruled in IKEA’s favor in its challenge against Vlaams Belang, saying the Belgian far-right and Flemish separatist party’s IKEA-style campaign visuals could damage the brand’s reputation. The court said a famous trademark owner may block such use when freedom of expression has not been shown to outweigh its rights.
