Sun World scores important victories in litigation against Italian grape growers

In recent months and in three separate cases, Italian courts have ruled in favour of Sun World International, LLC in litigation filed by growers attempting to circumvent the contractual obligations stemming from agreements with Sun World for the growing, harvesting and sale of Sun World table grapes.

The growers sought the right to market Autumncrisp® brand grapes outside of Sun World's licensed distributors network, based on a recent ruling issued by the Italian Supreme Court in the "Miglionico" case.

Despite the ruling in the Miglionico case, the Court of Bari (IP specialized section) dismissed the growers' lawsuits and reaffirmed their contractual obligations to use Sun World's licensed distributors network, along with an order to pay Sun World's court costs, attorney fees and damages.
