- HCMP133/2008
Registration declared invalid because a normal and fair use of the suit mark simpliciter by the respondent as at the deemed registration date would have constituted passing off of the applicants' well‑known marks and would take unfair advantage and be detrimental to their distinctive character and repute (s12(5)/s12(4) and s53(5)(b)); defences of honest concurrent use and statutory acquiescence failed and bad faith not established.
