 A food company has applied to the Constitutional Court to challenge a ruling which bars it from producing a KitKat lookalike.

This was after the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein ruled against the manufacturers of the Tiffany Break on the grounds of
intellectual property and trademark law.

The interdict was granted in Nestlé's favour over the shape of the KitKat, which is registered as a trademark.

The SCA found strong similarities between the two chocolates, which comes down to losses to Nestle.
