What is 'passing off'?
Passing off is a common law action and is used to prevent one party from using the goodwill associated with another party for their own benefit. This does not provide a monopoly right over the mark; instead it protects the owner of the goodwill against what can be referred to as ‘unfair competition’. The law of passing off is extensive and covers the goodwill associated with a trademark, signs, visual images, domain names, business names, show names, and other descriptive material.

Have you been misled?
If you have noticed competitors attempting to pass themselves off as "Faulty Towers The Dining Experience" or "The Faulty Towers Experience", or are a venue and feel that you have been misled into booking a competitor instead of the IWPL/FTTDE production, please email legal@faultytowers.net
