- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA364/2011
The application for judgment on admissions was dismissed because the plaintiff did not plead lack of distinctiveness under section 3(1) and the grounds of invalidity actually pleaded (bad faith and contravention of s12(5)(a)/(b)) raise disputed factual issues which must be resolved at trial; registration remains prima facie valid under s80 and the Court will not grant judgment on a ground that was not pleaded.
