Directory assistance numbers argue over TV commercial

The operators of Zurich's information hotline 1818 have obtained a super-provisional injunction against their competitor, «1801 – ich weiss,» based in Biel. The reason for the lawsuit is a TV commercial.

The people responsible for the Zurich information number 1818 have obtained a super-provisional injunction against the competitor "1801 - ich weiss" from Biel. The reason for the action is a TV commercial showing two skiers. However, 1818 had already been advertising with two skiers in the retro style of the 1970s since last fall and is now claiming this motif for itself. In the meantime, the super-provisional injunction prohibits the Bielers from broadcasting their commercial. However, according to the news agency SDA, the Biel-based BNS Group, parent company of "1801 - ich weiss", is contesting the court order.
