The dispute focused on the use of the "e-logo" by Enterprise Holdings' flagship brand, Enterprise
Rent-A-Car, and occurred when Europcar introduced an "e" logo in its branding in 2012. This was

TOTTI
Enterprise claimed that the new Europcar logo was confusingly similar to the Enterprise Rent-ACar trade mark, a variant of which has been consistently used across Europe since 1994, when
Enterprise Holdings set up its first branch operations in the UK.
The court found that the Enterprise Rent-A-Car trademark had distinctive character and reputation

logo. Therefore, the court concluded that Europcar's use of their logo infringed on Enterprise's
rights. Enterprise Holdings is the largest car rental business in the world. Through its Enterprise Rent-ACar brand, the company has more than 1,000 European locations including a presence at all

Jim Burrell, European senior vice president of Enterprise Holdings, said, "We have invested

"Customers have the right to know who they are buying from, and what that company stands for,
which is why our brand matters so much.
"This decision is especially welcomed at a time when we are growing our brand as a global
business, and when demand for car rental is also expanding rapidly as people change their
mobility habits. It is vital that our customers can be confident of the service and the value that they
will receive every time they see the Enterprise brand."
