Court awarded general damages of HK$1,750,000 under s107 based on a notional licence value derived from actual increased monthly profit of HK$437,360 for four months (781 new top-tier subscribers x HK$560 = HK$437,360; x4 months = HK$1,749,440 rounded to HK$1,750,000), declined to award additional damages under s108(2) because infringement was short-lived, no proven benefit to defendant and no evidence of wide circulation, and awarded costs reduced to HK$292,500 after assessment and a 10% reduction for exaggerated claims.
