Footvall clubs vs. European bookies
 July 5, 2009, 5:51 am (2 years ago)In a petition movement last week, a court in Liege, Belgium canceled a claim by football clubs Juventus, PSV Eindhoven, FC Porto for fees from top European bookie companies Bwin, William Hill and Unibet, in a branding matter on the utilization of well-known teams’ names on bookie websites.
The Euro 2 million statement was regarding the right to utilize the club names, trademarks and events on the sites for the intention of taking sporting bets. The clubs as well asked for a court order avoiding the bookie companies from utilizing their protected image rights under threat of a Euro 50,000 fine for any future breach. This as well was dropped.
In dropping the claim, the court ordered that gambling was a business activity totally disconnected to the organization of sporting events, and thus organizers and clubs had no right to accuse and request money for the utilization of team and club identifiers.
