Battle of the bikkies
About 100 placard-waving supporters joined Dick Smith in court today after US-owned biscuit giant Arnott's launched legal action against his chocolate biscuit brand.
Arnott's claims the Temptin' chocolate biscuits sold by Dick Smith Foods unfairly cash in on the good name of its famous Tim Tams and is breaching trademark rules.
It also claims the Temptin' package design is misleading because the P is minimised to make the name appear as though it is two words, and as such too similar to Tim Tams.
