The court found that the plaintiff failed to prove a distinctive reputation in the get-up of the bricks because the complained-of features were dictated by utility and system compatibility rather than capricious or distinctive presentation; consequently there was no basis for passing off, no sufficient risk of irreparable harm and the interlocutory injunction was refused; the Order 14 judgment on the counterclaim was not interfered with because the passing off claim was misconceived for the non-copyright elements.
