- HCA159/2002
Damages were assessed on the facts as compensatory for actual injury to reputation and goodwill rather than by a notional licence/royalty; the court refused to adopt a notional royalty basis because plaintiff would not, acting reasonably, have licensed the defendant and because trade marks differ from patents/copyrights in proper measures of damage; on the proven facts plaintiff awarded HK$50,000 for damage to reputation and goodwill, interest from 22 October 2001 and costs of assessment (order nisi).
