- HCIP2/2022
Summary judgment was refused because there are triable issues of fact as to whether a substantial part of the Plaintiffs' copyright work was copied and as to elements of the passing-off claim; factual matters (generic nature of bonus-pack designs, comparative market shares, designer evidence, and survey methodology) require full trial; accordingly the Defendant is granted unconditional leave to defend.
