However, the defence of Harrods of Dubai, represented by Attorney Sameer Jaafar, sprang a surprise on Harrods of London by filing a counter lawsuit against the plaintiff, demanding cancellation of the trademark registered for the first plaintiff with the Ministry of Economy and Commerce under the name “Harrods”, on grounds that the tradename was not used in the UAE for five consecutive years.
