    CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY LTD v. VIDEOCOM TECHNOLOGY LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1434/2002

    There was no bona fide defence: unchallenged documentary and sample evidence (invoices bearing SCCRE001080, counterfeit sample examinations, the 2nd defendant's quotation) and implausible denials meant no real prospect of trial. The defendants were inferentially acting in common design. Therefore summary judgment was entered for passing off and trademark infringement and injunctive and ancillary relief (discovery, delivery up, enquiry as to damages) was granted.
