BRUSSELS, July 07 (Reuters): Les Editions P. Amaury, which owns the rights to football award Ballon d'Or, on Wednesday lost its trademark fight against Britain's Golden Balls after a European court backed a patent agency's decision to strip the French firm's rights to TV broadcasting and books.
The Luxembourg-based General Court, Europe's second top court, restored Ballon d'Or's trademark rights to entertainment services.
