J2O Maker Sued Over Glamping Cabin Copyright Image
6 Jun
Summary
- Glamping cabin owners are suing Britvic for copyright infringement.
- An image of their 'Magic Mushroom Cabin' was allegedly used without permission.
- The owners seek damages totaling £6,552 for lost profits and unauthorized use.
Britvic, the company behind J2O and Robinsons squash, is being sued by Amanda and David Robinson, owners of the Magic Mushroom Cabin. The Robinsons allege that Britvic infringed their copyright by using an image of their glamping cabin, located in Dodford, Northamptonshire, without their permission. This image was reportedly used for a summer hangout competition that ran from July to September 2025.
The Robinsons claim the promotional use of the 2017 photograph, taken by Amanda Robinson, occurred on Britvic's competition pages, Amazon store, and in advertisements. Their barrister, John-Paul Tettmar-Saleh, stated that the infringement was "flagrant" and that Britvic continued using the image for approximately 90 days after a complaint was acknowledged. A specific claim for damages of £6,552 has been filed, intended to cover lost profits and the fee that would have been charged for permission.
The Robinsons argue that their brand is not aligned with a large manufacturer of sugary drinks, suggesting any association would command a high price. Britvic, which is based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, has not yet filed a defense to the claim. A hearing for this copyright dispute is still pending.
