A decade-long legal battle over Kenya’s iconic street clocks has concluded with a High Court ruling favouring City Clock (Kenya) Ltd and restricting a competitor’s branding.

The court ruled that Country Clock Kenya Limited, a firm incorporated by a former City Clock (Kenya) Ltd employee, infringed on City Clock’s registered trademarks and engaged in passing off its services. City Clock Ltd is owned by Nairobi tycoon Tillman Proske.
