Ernest Jones, a prominent high street jeweler, and its parent company have refuted a £2.8 million ($3.5 million) claim that was lodged in London by a member of a historic gemcutting family. The claimant alleges that the jeweler used his company’s trademarked jewelry without a formal agreement in place. Ernest Jones, however, contends that it didn’t require an agreement with the claimant as it had procured the trademarked jewelry from a licensee. Despite the accusation, the jeweler and its parent are firmly standing their ground against the claims.
