Plaintiff lacked locus standi because its statutory declaration identified Tan Sri Dato' Tan Chee Sing as proprietor; on the merits the Registrar was correct: documentary evidence established 1st Defendant's earlier use of the Palmgold word and logo (early 1990s) and therefore it was the common law proprietor entitled to registration; sale of shares did not transfer trademark ownership; Registrar's decision to allow registration is upheld; OS-7 and OS-8 dismissed with costs.
