An excellent driver, but he is a bit of a whopper isn't he?

That must be some legal battle considering the costs involved
Though, in the end, Hamilton’s company 44IP had to pay £893 towards Hamilton International’s costs in the case.
Oh the irony. Shame. 😂
Obvious outcome of a case that should not even have been allowed to proceed!

I dont blame him,I mean he must be on the bread line with his wages.
How did this ever become a legal case?

How did it become a case? Some lawyers who get paid handsomely, win or lose, made it so.
He should have gone for the trade mark "Cockwomble" would have won that one.
How they even thought that they could win that case is just ridiculous.Sent from my SM-N960F using TZ-UK mobile app
Just to be clear, this wasn't Lewis trying to stop Hamilton from using the name, it was Lewis Hamilton trying to get the right to use his own surname.
... to potentially market smart watches.

So what? Amongst other things. I don't think it's unreasonable for a man with a powerful brand to want to use his name to help sell his wares. But hey, let's not pass up an opportunity to throw the word cockwomble around. Has anyone said "lives in Monaco" yet?
I blame the EU!

I thought I recalled something from way back that you couldn't be prevented from using your own name. You can now, apparently!
This is not bear pit and this is the wrong place to discuss why some people love to hate Hamilton and his small infringements get magnified. The reason is kinda obvious.
You've got it in one. He's clearly an incredibly talented guy but he also seems to be a complete and utter bell.
Has to be said my childhood's been tarnished: The Wombles are now forever ruined by the antics of a bell-end; great nickname though!
I wonder if he will try to get the Isle of Lewis to change its name next?
Only if it sells £16.5m Bombardier aeroplanes.
Whopper ? haven’t heard that for ages. Fully accurate though IMO

Very loose.
Nice to hear. Perhaps the commercial activity described in the article explains his participation in divisive race politics this year; just trying to raise his profile to sell more of his tat.
I would imagine he will be inconsolable when one of his sycophants tells him that the London stage stage Hamilton is not about him...

I wonder what Rex Hamilton would think!?
A great driver obviously but he is losing a lot of respect because of his off track antics . T#*t, as a description of him seems very fitting nowadays.

"The hearing was told 44IP, named after the Mercedes driver's race number, are attempting to trademark the name 'Lewis Hamilton' for a number of goods including watches, smartwatches and jewellery and Hamilton International are opposing the move."
ISTM that the trademark 'LEWIS HAMILTON' covers a great deal of goods and services categories but not watches, smartwatches and jewellery, so the TM company are looking to add those items in.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
His “antics” - which antics would these be exactly?
But I wonder the reaction if Hamilton International, launched a range of watches called “Lewis” (without getting them endorsed by Lewis Hamilton), to go along side the Ventura, Jazzmaster and Khaki.
I most say this whole thing seems rather odd, especially given LH is already sponsored by IWC, (who already has a range called the “Lewis Hamilton”), the amount of the award (which equates to about 1 Hour of a solicitors time), etc.
Hopefully Norris Nutts and Lando Norris wont make the same mistakes
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Paris had motorcycles equipped with such a device
With a play on ‘motocross’, they were soon nicknamed ’motocrottes’ (mototurds).

you can imagine it, a bit like a comedy film, all the sycophants he's paying saying yes Lewis, no Lewis, any thing you want Lewis, not one is going to say "don't be so F***ing stupid"
thinking about it maybe Swatch should now sue Hamiltons parents for using their brand name

You will inevitably get tarred with what your employees do in your name. Claiming that you did not know or did not understand is not usually taken to be any sort of defence. He needs to pay more attention to who is allowed into "Team LH" as he likes to style his posse. So I am firmly of the view that he is a cockwomble.
I'd consider editing those posts, this being a public area of the forum.

I wonder if he can go for the Tag Monaco next or the Daytona. Everyday gets a little bit crazier.
Would it have been better if he had tightened it?
Oh god you’re right! A thousand pardons. I’ve changed the thread title accordingly.
