Judge rules Rockwool鈥檚 marketing campaign was misleading

锘縄nsulation firm Kingspan has won a High Court battle against rival Rockwool over misleading claims made about its products鈥� fire safety. Mr Justice Kitchin found marketing roadshows and DVDs used by Rockwool, questioning the fire resistance of its rival鈥檚 products, were misleading and breached Kingspan鈥檚 trademarks.

However, the court rejected a further claim of malicious falsehood made against Rockwool.

A spokesperson for Kingspan said: 鈥淲e are very pleased that the High Court has held that Rockwool鈥檚 marketing campaign was misleading.鈥�

A spokesman for Rockwool said: 鈥淲e will ensure that future advertising reflects the findings in this case.鈥�

Mr Justice Kitchin will make an order as to any damages Kingspan may be entitled to at a later date.
