The Wall Street Journal released an article today on a high fueled, no holds bar case battling it out in Europe’s High Court: Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG of Switzerland’s pending patent case on their (if wasn’t before it is now) infamous chocolate bunny. That’s right, lawyers and the highest court in Europe will determine today if Lindt can in fact, patent a chocolate bunny shape. The full article goes into Lindt’s defense, it’s hopping mad hunt to quash imitators (or even those that come even a whisper close) and what this will mean for the European chocolate candy industry.
