Nadorcott Protection (NCP) has taken legal action against another major UK retailer. This is the second case NCP has brought in the UK courts against the unauthorized exploitation of Tango/Tang Gold mandarins.
Prior to this, NCP commenced proceedings against Sainsbury's in January 2024. In October 2024, NCP and Sainsbury's settled the dispute on the basis that Sainsbury's changed its product specification and removed Tang Gold from sale pending the outcome of other proceedings concerning Tang Gold and/or Nadorcott.
This new infringement action represents an intensification of NCP's efforts to protect its rights in the Nadorcott variety, particularly with respect to the unauthorized exploitation of Tango/Tang Gold mandarins.
NCP will continue to defend its exclusive rights in Nadorcott and reserves the right to take all appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized exploitation of its intellectual property in all relevant jurisdictions.
