Court forbids Ryanair’s ‘Buzz’ brand
The Capital Appeals Court has upheld a first-instance court ruling that banned low-cost airline Ryanair from using its brand name Buzz. The name Buzz was deemed too close to Ryanair’s competitor Wizz Air, the latter, partly Hungarian-owned airline announced on Wednesday.
This ruling is only temporary but Wizz Air has launched a case to make it permanent.
Buzz is a brand name used by Ryanair Sun, the Polish subsidiary of Ryanair, which is one of Poland’s largest airlines. Ryanair assigned its operations in Budapest to “Buzz” in the autumn of 2019. (portfolio.hu; napi.hu; hvg.hu; novekedes.hu)
