Description

Audi, a renowned German automobile manufacturer, has a storied history dating back to 1885 when it was founded by August Horch. Audi, as a part of its history, was involved in a trademark dispute related to the use of the name "Horch." The founder of Audi, August Horch, had previously founded another automobile company named Horch. When he left that company and established Audi, a legal dispute arose over the use of the name "Horch" in Audi's branding. Eventually, the matter was resolved, and the name Audi prevailed, becoming the prominent brand we know today.
