No its a Clear Copyright Design
Aldi are Guilty


High Courts will rule on this

It's a foolish lawsuit on M&S' part really. Aldi is pretty much the most popular supermarket, and targetting a product on their shelves isn't going to magically make people buy it from M&S instead, it'll just stir up anti-M&S sentiment. Aldi's pretty much played a blinder on the social media front since they've successfully set up M&S as the villains of the story and that will only damage M&S while driving sales of Aldi's cake because of the attention on it.

Great place.

If you have a Lidl nearby go there instead of Aldi every time. Even Aldi fruit & veg is trash. Some of the old Lidl's are pretty grim but the "new purpose built" ones that have been springing up over the last couple of years are great.

[Colin the Caterpillar was launched by
M&S about 30 years ago.
His appearance has been substantially
unchanged since around 2004,
except for adaptations for events such as Halloween
and Christmas, and related products
such as Connie the Caterpillar.]

[Colin is central to M&S's partnership with
cancer charity Macmillan, and the retailer
has created a Colin product for the annual
World's Biggest Coffee Morning fundraising event.
The cake is a sponge with milk chocolate
and buttercream, topped with chocolate sweets
and a smiling white chocolate face.
M&S was the first retailer to sell a caterpillar cake,
but many supermarkets have since created
their own similar products.]

[Marks & Spencer has stepped up its caterpillar
rights wrangle with Aldi after the
discounter said its Cuthbert cake
was returning for charity.
Aldi had stopped selling the cake in February,
two months before M&S accused the
supermarket of infringing its
Colin the Caterpillar trademark.

But now sales of a limited edition version
will benefit Teenage Cancer Trust and
Macmillan Cancer Support.

M&S said it loved a charity idea,
but Aldi should use its own character.

Unveiling the idea on social media,
Aldi said: "Let's raise money for
charity, not lawyers."
M&S replied that a cake based on
Aldi's Kevin the Carrot commercials
would be better,
adding: "That idea's on us."]
