Budget supermarket Lidl has won a copyright battle against Tesco over the use of its yellow and blue Clubcard deals colour scheme.

Both feature a yellow circle on a blue background.The dispute is said to have kicked off after Tesco began using the blue and yellow logo to promote its Clubcard scheme in 2020.

A Lidl spokesperson has since said of the ruling: "We are pleased that the court has agreed with us."Tesco has said that it is "surprised and disappointed" after the judge found that it had "taking unfair advantage of the reputation of Lidl's logos."
