Joel Smith, intellectual property partner at law firm Hogan Lovells,said it would be difficult for M&S to argue that Swizzels had acted unfairly. A spokesperson for M&S stated: “Marks & Spencer Plc and Swizzels Matlow Limited confirm that they have agreed to settle on confidential terms the trademark dispute concerning the appearance of Swizzels Matlow’s ‘Pigs Mugs’ sweets and have reached an amicable resolution whereby Swizzels has agreed to change the design of its product.” The high street retailer said it had reached an “amicable solution” with Swizzels, but refused to provide further details of the settlement.

For the buttercream, beat together the butter, dessert sauce, icing sugar and milk until smooth. Gradually add drops of pink or red food colouring, mixing after each addition, until the buttercream is as pink as Percy. Lawyers for the high street chain had claimed that the two sweets’ designs were so similar that its customers might have bought the wrong item in error. M&S is heading to court as it accuses sweetmaker Swizzels from copying its infamous Percy Pig sweets. Last month, The Grocer reported that copycat products were ”artificially hiking prices in cost of living crisis”, according to evidence sent to Trading Standards and the Competition & Markets Authority by the British Brands Group.

The retailer believes Swizzels’ Pigs Mugs treats are “highly similar” to Percy and say that confused customers could buy the wrong ones. An M&S spokesman said: “M&S has a proud history as a leading British innovator and for over 136 years customers have turned to M&S for unique, original, quality products – conceived, created and developed alongside trusted suppliers and produced to the highest standards. Responding to the Swizzels victory, an M&S spokesperson said: “M&S has a proud history as a leading innovator and for almost 140 years customers have turned to M&S for unique, original, quality products – conceived, created and developed alongside trusted suppliers and produced to the highest standards.

Whisk together 500ml custard, 100g Percy Pig dessert sauce and a few drops of pink food colouring, then spoon into the trifle bowl, smoothing on top. Whisk the remaining cream until soft peaks have formed. Spoon over the custard, using a spatula to create soft peaks.In their legal submission, an example was used of a customer who loved the sweets so much they had a tattoo of Percy’s face.

M&S’s arguments centre on Swizzels’ Pig Mugs gums, being both confusingly similar to Percy, or where the public can distinguish the two products, whether Swizzels are benefiting from the clear link generated between the two.
