Piaggio bans the Peugeot Metropolis from Italy
After years of legal tug-of-war, Piaggio has apparently succeeded in having the sale of the Peugeot Metropolis finally banned in Italy. The Vespa parent company believes that the French three-wheeled scooter infringes the patent for the tilting technology on its MP3 model. Peugeot, now part of the Indian Mahindra Group, had appealed several times against corresponding rulings. According to Piaggio, however, a Milan court has now ruled in favor of the lawsuit. In addition, Peugeot Motocyles Italia must pay a fine of over one million euros, according to the statement. The decision has no effect on the sale of the Metropolis in other countries. (aum)
