Decisions issued by the Jordanian Appellate Court

01-May-1999

1)The person appointed to manage a regional company does not have the power to retain a lawyer to act on its behalf.

This is because the power to run the company does not include the right to retain a lawyer for disputes and because cancellation of the non-operating foreign firm status, the regional office, does not prevent the plaintiff from demanding a claim from the foreign firm (defendant) as long as the lawsuit is filed against it, not against its regional office in Jordan.

2)It is not permissible to register a trademark which is identical to that of another party and which is already registered for the same goods.

Since this results in unfair competition, the infringed trademark must be cancelled.
