The plaintiff's Hong Kong design registration constituted prima facie proof of exclusive rights; the defendant sold articles to which a design not substantially different had been applied; the defendant was put on notice and took no steps to investigate, therefore it could not rely on lack of knowledge to avoid liability for damages and had no real defence to defeat an Order 14 summary judgment; final relief and ancillary orders were appropriate.
