    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1006/1989

    In the absence of credible evidence or particulars showing grounds for cancellation or a triable issue, a registered proprietor may rely on the bare fact of UK registration to obtain summary judgment for infringement; moreover, shape and configuration can include the relative arrangement and projection of components (speaker and knobs) so the defendant's arguments that features are mere pattern/ornament or that representations are ambiguous fail.
