		He said the Finns fall somewhere in the middle, but added that the easypeople website is a clear case of passing off because it had used easygroup's corporate colours and logo, and the Finns had faxed easygroup asking it to invest in their site.
		Tony Finn refutes the suggestion that his sites copied easygroup's corporate colours and logo, saying the orange he has always used is a redder shade than the colour used by easygroup and that the two logos use different typefaces.

		The easyGroup regrets that members of the public have been cheated out of their money and will continue to protect its brand and the interests of consumers wherever possible.
		The easyGroup finds this very strange since Lenos Trattou is claiming rights dating back several years and the fact that his website is doing no more than linking through to a competitor of www.easyPizza.com is, to the easyGroup, a clear demonstration of bad faith.
		easyDrinks was not a part of the easyGroup and yet it mimicked easyGroup's 'get-up' in its entirety, namely by using a lower case 'e', capital 'D', all in one word, white lettering on an orange background and the Cooper Black 'fat' font.

	Springwise: easy(Group) Does It
		We're much more likely at the easyGroup to sit around working out how we can eliminate cost, as opposed to trying to dream up revenue streams because those revenue streams might, in the end, just be fl holes.
		Big industries and old fashioned industries that are stuck with a high cost structure are obliged to go and try and get more revenue out of their customers, whereas if you design a business plan from scratch as we did, we can eliminate all unnecessary cost, so we're not forced to go revenue-chasing.
		Don't forget, the easyGroup comes along in established industries and says, "You, the consumer, are used to consuming this particular product, and we're going to give it to you at a third of the price." I think that's a pretty convincing argument to consumers to get them onto your side.

		According to the easyGroup, it had rights in the name “easyHotel” as he owns several domain names and CTM, UK, US and Swiss trade marks comprising the said name, notably in Switzerland.
		The domain name at issue was therefore identical to easyGroup’s domain names and trademarks thus creating confusion for the customers in violation of the Swiss Law on the Unfair Competition.
		The content of the website www.easyhotel.ch and its blue and grey interface was very different from the easyGroup brand which is notably known by the public for using the colours white and orange as well as a distinctive writing, particularly for the name “easy”.
