    I picked up what I thought was a pack of McCambridges Bread in my local Euro Spar only to find out when I got home that it was Brennans - has anyone else had the same problem?

    I know the price is cheaper but if I want to buy McCambridges then i expect McCambridges and not another manufacturers product.......

    recent court case regards this exact thing, think it maybe still ongoing or awaiting a decision, mccambridges sued due to similar packaging etc

    Ditto.....
    The checkout assistant also took a McCambridges voucher from me as part-payment for the Brennans product.
    I hope the people in Brennan's marketing department burn in hell.

    Interesting that the OP has very few previous posts and one is re protecting a brand/trade name and one about registering a trade mark...

    Ooh look, Howard is an expert in branding and marketing! http://www.anchorasolutions.com/howard-kent.html

    A I missing something here?

    The two packagings in Bobmc's link look very different to me. The Brennans one has yellow all over it. Other than being roughly the same size the labels are completely different.
