Euronext Wins Court Case VS. TOM And Binckbank

Date 22/07/2015

Euronext welcomes the verdict by the District Court in the Hague, the Netherlands, in the proceedings on the merits against TOM and BinckBank, which upheld Euronext’s claim that TOM had breached its various intellectual property rights by trademark infringement, database infringement, breach of contract and publishing misleading information and activities for investors. The Court has awarded the majority of Euronext’s claims, after Euronext was already vindicated in the summary proceedings. The Court found that TOM’s and BinckBank’s claims that their systems offer the best price are “misleading statements” and should therefore be removed from the websites of both companies. Moreover TOM and BinckBank both have to place an announcement regarding misleading advertisement of their Smart Order Router on the websites of Alex, BinckBank and TOM.
