• Tesco Stores Limited

Overview

Tesco plc originated in 1919 when Jack Cohen began selling surplus groceries in London's East End, naming the company from tea supplier T.E. Stockwell. It grew into the UK's largest supermarket operator for extended periods.

British filings are vast for Tesco, Clubcard, Finest, and private label ranges, illustrating retail-led intellectual property. Supermarkets frequently file in Class 35 and overlapping food classes, and defend against lookalike packaging through trade mark and unfair competition tools.
