== History == In 2008, Belgian company Soremartec (part of the Ferrero Group) began legal action against Landrin, a Ukrainian company which began producing a sweet in 2007 similar to Raffaello, called Waferatto. Soremartec filed a claim on the grounds that Landrin had violated Soremartec's trademark protecting the appearance of the Raffaello sweets. After a lengthy court battle, the High Commercial Court of Ukraine ruled in favor of Landrin, cancelling the validity of Soremartec's trademark.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.petosevic.com/resources/news/2011/02/000595|title=Ferrero Loses Raffaello Trademark Protection in Ukraine {{!}} PETOŠEVIĆ|date=February 23, 2011|website=www.petosevic.com|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200107055040/https://www.petosevic.com/resources/news/2011/02/000595|archive-date=January 7, 2020|access-date=January 7, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.confectionerynews.com/Article/2011/01/20/Ferrero-loses-out-in-Ukraine-trademark-dispute|title=Ferrero loses out in Ukraine trademark dispute|last=Byrne|first=Jane|date=January 20, 2011|website=confectionerynews.com|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200107055155/https://www.confectionerynews.com/Article/2011/01/20/Ferrero-loses-out-in-Ukraine-trademark-dispute|archive-date=January 7, 2020|access-date=January 7, 2020}}</ref> In 2017, a court in [[Frankfurt]] in [[Germany]] ruled that Ferrero would have to list the number of Raffaello sweets in each packet sold, rather than simply providing the weight.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11/02/ferrero-raffaello-ordered-count-chocolates-box-rather-give-total/ | date=November 2, 2017 | newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] | access-date=January 1, 2020 | quote=But the court in Frankfurt took the country’s love of precision to new heights this week when it ordered Ferrero to specify the number of chocolates in each box of its popular Raffaello brand it sells in Germany.|title=Ferrero Raffaello ordered to count chocolates in each box rather than give total weight| author=Justin Haggler}}</ref>
