Snowball fight: Cadbury owner in trademark row over festive chocolate treat

Mondelēz International, the owner of Cadbury, has sent a legal letter to Moo Free, a small vegan chocolate brand, demanding it remove its White Choccy Snowballs from shelves. This move is due to a trademark dispute over the use of the word "snowball". Mondelēz claims that Moo Free's product infringes on its trademark rights. The dispute highlights the challenges faced by smaller brands in protecting their products from larger companies with established trademarks. This could have implications for the chocolate industry and the way smaller brands operate.

Why it matters

Mondelēz is suing Moo Free over a trademark dispute, which could impact Moo Free's sales and reputation. The lawsuit may also affect the vegan chocolate market as a whole.
