The Federal Court held the Court of Appeal erred: parallel import defence under s40(1)(dd) TMA fails absent express or implied consent by the proprietor/registered user; where goods are territorially restricted, materially different and non‑compliant with domestic regulatory requirements, trademark rights are not exhausted and importation/resale constitutes infringement and passing off; High Court judgment is reinstated.
