Recent events in the aviation industry confirm that disputes over trademark rights are no longer limited to terrestrial matters but are entering a completely new dimension – the skies. Specifically, this concerns a dispute between two airlines, namely the Polish airline LOT and the German airline Lufthansa. In the case of both companies, the same bird – a crane – plays a leading role in their logos. Until 2019, both companies operated in the market without any conflicts in this regard. This was partly due to the fact that the crane in the Lufthansa logo was placed on a distinctive orange-yellow background and also had a different pose than the one in the PLL LOT logo. It is worth noting that the logo of the Polish airline has n officially in use since 1931, and its author was Lucjan Gronowski, who graduated from the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Paris.
