COLUMBUS?Communications Ltd can continue trading as FLOW in Barbados, at least for the time being.
This decision was handed down by High Court Judge Jacqueline Cornelius last week, when she dismissed a claim for an injunction and damages filed by Freedom Telecom Inc., a company that said it had registered a number of business names of “FLOW Barbados and “FLOW Communications” since 2009 and also in 2013.
The company, which is owned by businessman Scott Weatherhead, filed the application for an interlocutory injunction to prevent Tele (Barbados) Inc., which was acquired by Columbus Communications this year, from using the name Flow in any form or in any business activity charging that it infringed Freedom Telecom’s rights and that Freedom Telecom owned the name.
In addition, they also sought orders that the name FLOW?be removed from anything such as kiosks, vehicles, advertising stationery and promotional material.
