LOT and Ryanair trade words, accusations

LOT claims that Ryanair, the Irish budget airline, uses unfair competition practices. LOT has been shocked by Ryanair's adverts and press information, and it claims that Ryanair uses unacceptable comparative advertising which discredits LOT. The Polish airline also claims that its trademark has been infringed. Ryanair issued a press statement in which it claimed that LOT is a recidivist and cheats its clients. In turn, LOT claimed that Ryanair tries to convince LOT's workers to not carry out their duties. The airline stresses that it isn't demanding compensation, but only wants to make sure that Ryanair complies with Polish advertising rules. However, LOT has made a few demands: namely it wants Ryanair to stop its campaign directed against LOT and to publish an explanatory statement in the media.(Puls Biznesu, p.3)
