African Rainbow Minerals, the South African mining group Motsepe founded in 1997, has taken legal action against a Durban-based company it says is using a name confusingly similar to its own.
The target of the action is African Rainbow Star, a company registered in Congella, Durban. ARM hauled it before the Companies Tribunal, alleging infringement of several trademarks that were registered between 2005 and 2017.
ARM is not asking for damages. It wants the Durban firm to change its name.
