Dutch Court Orders JLR to Return Files in BYD Ti7 Design Dispute
A Dutch court ordered Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) to return or destroy files seized from BYD's offices during their legal dispute over whether BYD's Ti7 SUV copies the Land Rover Defender's design. The court ruled the seized documents were unnecessary for JLR's claim and barred further enforcement actions. BYD criticized the seizure as overly broad. The case centers on design similarities between the two SUVs, with a court verdict expected soon in The Hague.
