Jaguar Land Rover suing China carmaker over Evoque copycat: source

Beijing

JAGUAR Land Rover (JLR) is suing Chinese carmaker Jiangling Motor for allegedly copying the British firm's Range Rover Evoque, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said - a rare move by a foreign carmaker to fight copycats in the world's biggest car market.

A spokesman for JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said that a court in Beijing's eastern Chaoyang district "served Jiangling with newly filed actions surrounding copyright and unfair competition". He declined to elaborate.
