Orange v easyMobile

So Stelios never got the chance to wear his orange boiler suit in court. Orange and easyMobile apparently quietly settled their dispute over the use of the colour orange out of court. of course the matter will have been eased by the fact that the easyMobile MVNO ceased operations last year.

This is the statement issued by the easyGroup:

"The case brought by Orange Personal Communications against easyMobile has been settled out of court. The businesses have agreed a mutually acceptable position regarding use of the colour orange. Specific terms of the settlement are confidential."

easy continues to insist that its mobile party is not yet over, and has still got the urls www.easyMobile.com and www.easyTelecom.com.

easymobile.com currently is just a phone number for customers looking for help to move their services. easyTelecom.com is a price comparison Web site.

A spokesman for easyGroup said as there is no longer any litigation between easy and Orange, "I can see no legal or other reason why there should not in principle be a business relationship between us."
