- HCA2955/2000
The plaintiff failed to show a serious question to be tried in passing off because its goodwill was confined to IT systems and solutions rather than media/content, the word 'sun' is common and used by many, and the defendant's intended activities are in media and entertainment so there is no real likelihood of misrepresentation or confusion; damages would be an adequate remedy; therefore interlocutory relief is refused.
