- HCA2445/2017
The Court found the Counterfeit Dolls bore identical or confusingly similar marks to the Plaintiff's registered marks and thus infringed under ss 18(1) and 18(3) of the Trade Marks Ordinance; the Website and promotional activities were directed at international customers including Hong Kong making the acts actionable locally; evidence showed both Defendants participated in the Mega Show and acted in concert and the Defendants failed to adduce documentary evidence to raise a real triable issue, so summary judgment was appropriate for trademark infringement and passing-off.
