TV chef James Martin lost a legal battle to trademark his name for drinks against a Scotch whisky firm. The Intellectual Property Office ruled against Martin, stating consumers could confuse his products with the firm's existing "James Martin's" whisky. Martin must pay £1,900 in costs. The whisky, a premium 30-year-old blend, has been trademarked by Macdonald & Muir since 1998.
