"Tonino Lamborghini, an Italy-based company which is the sole lawful owner worldwide of the trademark 'Tonino Lamborghini' wishes to inform its customers that unauthorized people are currently trading online and through Globe stores '4G Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini' broadband stick which is a counterfeited product.""Tonino Lamborghini s.r.l. has never manufactured or authorized anyone to manufacture such a product, which constitutes therefore a serious trademark infringement," Lamborghini said in the statement, which was posted in the Italy-based company's website and in several blogs.
Moreover the advertising campaign 'Feed your Need for Speed' featuring Marlon Stockinger, first Filipino to win a formula race in Europe, is deceitful and unlawful since it leads to a serious likelihood of confusion between two different and separate brands and businesses that is to say 'Tonino Lamborghini' and 'Automobili Lamborghini,'" he added.
Tonino Lamborghini s.r.l. shall take any legal action to protect the brand."
Globe is not giving their official statements yet regarding the issue.
Meanwhile, Tonino Lamborghini and Automobili Lamborghini are two different companies. Tonino is a luxury brand of watches, shades, among others while Automobili is a company which sells automotive related goods like sports car.
