September 2017. City Resort Oss, a hotel belonging to the Fitland Group, has been ordered to change its name. According to the District Court in Den Bosch, City Resort Oss is infringing the company name rights of the City Hotel, which opened in Oss in 1980.
Confusion
Although the Court concluded that City Hotel could not claim exclusive rights to the word City, it added that the name City Resort Oss must be withdrawn due to a risk of confusion. A decisive argument, according to the Court, was the fact that the two hotels had already been mistaken for each other.
