Judge found that, except for one drawing, the drawings were original and that moulds and products were made from those drawings; defendants admitted copying the products; the copying reproduced a substantial part of the relevant drawings; the section 9(8) defence failed on visual comparison by a non-expert; the plea of innocence failed because defendants had no reasonable grounds to believe copies were non-infringing; additional damages under s17(3) were not awarded; injunction, delivery up/destruction and inquiry as to damages and costs were ordered.
