The court interpreted the phrase "full particulars of the product or process alleged to infringe" in the context of the disclosure-avoidance provision in the former Order 104 rule 11 as "particulars sufficient to enable all issues of infringement to be resolved. The description must be complete in all relevant areas. A description of the product either in general terms or including tendentious assertions is not acceptable."

Three members of the group Spandau Ballet sought to be treated as joint authors of the songs in which copyright was claimed. The songs had been composed at home by another member of the group who was a keyboard player and singer, but then played and learned by the claimants, who added their own interpretation to the performance. Held: Their contribution as performers was not a sufficient original contribution to the creation of the songs for them to count as joint authors.

Geoffrey Hobbs QC

Geoffrey Hobbs QC said: "On the evidence before me I am prepared to accept that at the date of the application for registration of the later CORGI trade mark: (i) the applicant was the proprietor of a substantial and valuable goodwill built-up and acquired in connection with the promotion and sale of CORGI model vehicles over many years; (ii) the applicant could be damaged in its use and enjoyment of that goodwill if people were deceived or confused by use of the later CORGI trade marks as a trade mark for outer wear, sport and leisure wear. There is a question as to whether the word CORGI has been used by the applicant in a manner and to an extent sufficient to cause it to be misleading when used as a trade mark for the goods of interest to the respondent. This is the point at which I begin to have difficulty with the applicant's objection under section 5(4). I do not regard it as self-evident that people would be misled (with a concomitant risk of damage to the applicant in its use and enjoyment of the goodwill built up and acquired in connection with the promotion and sale of CORGI model vehicles) if the word CORGI was used by the respondent as a trade mark for outer wear, sport and leisure wear. The applicant's evidence leaves me in doubt on these matters. I think it is quite possible that people would perceive or assume correctly that the same mark was being used by separate undertakings trading independently of one another."

(Supreme Court of British Columbia) The court discussed the test for joint authorship after reviewing authorities in Canada, the US and England and said: "In the result I find that the test for joint authorship that should be applied to the facts in the instant case is as follows:
i) Did the plaintiff contribute significant original expression to the songs? If yes,
ii) Did each of the plaintiff and Ms McLachlan intend that their contributions be merged into a unitary whole? If yes,
iii) Did each of the plaintiff and Ms McLachlan intend the other to be a joint author of the song?" and "the creation of the intent to co-author requirement in Childress v. Taylor happened despite the statutory definition of joint authorship . . . not because of it. The court looked beyond the language of the section and moved on to review policy considerations in the application of the section. In particular, the court could not accept that Congress intended to extend joint authorship to, for example, editors and researchers. It was for this reason that the court created the intent to co-author requirement."

Robert Walker LJ
Intellectual Property Casemap

The defendant was accused of infringing copyright in a TV programme relating to the pregnancy of a woman with eight foetuses. The defendant claimed fair dealing, but that defence was rejected by the trial judge. Held: The decision was reversed. The test of use for 'criticism or review' is objective, and satisfied here with full attribution and short extract for clear journalistic purpose. Fair dealing was established through subjective test of the copiers intentions from the work as a whole: "'Criticism or review' and 'reporting current events' are expressions of wide and indefinite scope. Any attempt to plot their precise boundaries is doomed to failure. They should be interpreted liberally" and "Criticism of a work need not be limited to criticism of style. It may also extend to the ideas to be found in a work and its social or moral implications." and "It may be said that those words ["The Plaintiff's Film and/or the Plaintiff's Broadcast and/or other media exploitation" ] are very vague . . Nevertheless the judge should in my view have taken as his starting point that the appellants' pleaded case was that the Carlton Programme was criticising various works representing the fruits of chequebook journalism, of which the TAFF report was one. The other (which might have been more particularised if Pro Sieben had pressed) were daily or weekly newspapers mentioned as having run stories on Ms Allwood or her partner or one or more of the other "ordinary people" to whom "something extraordinary happens in their lives". Four newspapers the News of the World, the Sun, the Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail were mentioned frequently in the Carlton programme, with shots of mastheads, headlines and parts of articles in those papers. Other newspapers (and one British television programme) received passing references." The judge " . . . did not consider the possibility that [the programme's use] might have been for the purpose of criticism or review of the TAFF report and the newspaper material mentioned above, taken collectively as a genre of the fruits of chequebook journalism" Such use, thus described, was capable of falling within the section: "The Carlton programme as a whole was in my judgment made for the purpose of criticism of works of chequebook journalism in general, and in particular the (then very recent) treatment by the media of the story of Ms Allwood's multiple pregnancy."

Nourse LJ
Intellectual Property, Equity Casemap
1 Citers
Satnam's agents (DH) had passed on confidential information to the claimant's business rival (Morbaine). Armed with this information Morbaine acquired a development site which Satnam had wanted to buy. Held: The court rejected an argument that Morbaine held the site on constructive trust for Satnam. A company purchasing land on strength of unintended and uninvited disclosure of confidential information from a rival for the land did not, simply because of that, hold the land on trust of whatever nature for the owner of the information. Nourse LJ: "Clearly, DH and Mr Murray can be regarded as trustees of the information and, clearly, Morbaine can be regarded as having been a knowing recipient of it. However, even assuming, first, that confidential information can be treated as property for this purpose and, secondly, that but for the disclosure of the information Morbaine would not have acquired the Brewery Street site, we find it impossible, in knowing receipt, to hold that there was a sufficient basis for subjecting the Brewery Street site to the constructive trust for which Satnam contends. The information cannot be traced into the site and there is no other sufficient nexus between the two."

The daily circulation within a large company of press cuttings was outside the scope of the reporting of current events defences to copyright infringement. Ownership of the typographical arrangement of a newspaper article sufficed to found a claim. An edition meant a "version" of a literary work and "In the case of a newspaper made up of a number of different articles, each separate article is in my view a literary work and the typographical arrangement of each separate article is accordingly a copyright work."

An English court does not have to refuse an application which sought to apply a foreign copyright law in a claim based on acts committed abroad on the basis that not actionable here. Such restrictions applicable to land actions only: "It is, we think, clear from an analysis of the judgments in the Moambique case that the House of Lords treated the question whether the English courts should entertain an action for trespass to foreign land as one of justiciability. The English courts should not claim jurisdiction to adjudicate upon matters which, under generally accepted principles of private international law, were the peculiar province and competence of another state"

The past normal practice, after a finding of patent infringement, to grant a wide ranging injunction, needs to be reconsidered, and the Court of Appeal should be asked for guidance. The present practice was capable of producing unfairness.

The copyright tribunal was given a wide discretion for the awarding of costs on applications made to it for licenses. The nature of the applications and the different basis makes it dangerous to import rules for awards from the general rules on costs. The Copyright Tribunal was wrong to award costs on an award to settle the terms of a license on the basis of costs following the event. The discretion and duties to allow for all factors were rather wider.
The court considered the approach to be taken on an appeal. Lord Woolf MR said "Before the court can interfere it must be shown that the judge has either erred in principle in his approach or has left out of account or has taken into account some feature that he should, or should not, have considered, or that his decision was wholly wrong because the court is forced to the conclusion that he has not balanced the various factors fairly in the scale."
The court considered the ability of an appellate court to review a decision of a first instance judge on matters with his discretion.

One plaintiff was the exclusive licensee of a registered design. The defendant sold articles alleged to infringe the design right. The registered owner had a statutory right to sue for infringement. But the question was whether the licensee could also sue. An exclusive licensee has some statutory rights of action (67(1) of the 1977 Act), but the exclusive licensee of a registered design has no such right. The licensee claimed that the defendant was intentionally causing him loss by the unlawful means of infringing the rights of the registered owner. Held: The court considered the tort of interfering with contractual relations, which requires an intention to interfere, and expressly followed the approach of Peter Gibson LJ in Millar saying that the unlawful conduct must "in some real sense be 'aimed at' the contract."
Jacob J: "It is true that the exploitation of the licence may not have been so successful commercially by reason of the infringement, but the contractual relations and their performance remain completely unaffected." and "the right to sue under intellectual property rights created and governed by statute [is] inherently governed by the statute concerned. Parliament in various intellectual property statutes has, in some cases, created a right to sue and in others not. In the case of the 1988 Act it expressly re-conferred the right on a copyright exclusive licensee, conferred the right on an exclusive licensee under the new form of property called an unregistered design right (see section 234) but did not create an independent right to sue on a registered design exclusive licensee. It is not for the courts to invent that which Parliament did not create."

An action was begun opposing a trade mark. It was conducted under the old rules, which did not allow for an order for discovery. After the new rules came into effect, discovery was sought, but the registrar said the old rules would continue to apply within the case. That decision was now challenged by way of judicial review. Held: The action was pending at the time of the new Act within Schedule 3. Section 78 gave wide powers to make rules, and those were not limited to merely procedural issues. The change in the rules would affect substantive rights, and a statute was not to be applied retrospectively unless it was clearly intended to do so.

The expressions complained of as trade mark infringements were "BMW specialist," "Specialised in BMWs" and "Repairs and maintenance of BMWs". Held: The Court proceeded on the basis that this was an Art.5(1)(a) case of identical marks and goods. It did not explicitly first identify the sign used by the defendant. But it was obvious what it was: just BMW. The other words in context were wholly devoid of any trade mark significance.

Representatives of the Defendant company were said to have asserted, during an expressly "without prejudice" meeting, that the plaintiff's marketing of its product infringed the Defendant's patent and threatened to bring an action for infringement. The plaintiff, relying on the statements made at the meeting, brought proceedings against the Defendant under section 70 of the Patents Act 1977 for threatening the plaintiff with proceedings for infringement of the patent. Held: The overriding principal of without prejudice negotiations meant that disclosure in patents negotiations of perceived strengths and weaknesses was not to be used against a party. This is to be even more so under the new litigation regime. In a threat action, it does not matter that the threat may be veiled or covert, conditional or future. Nor does it matter that the threat is made in response to an enquiry from the party threatened.

The claimant alleged copying of designs. The defendant appealed a finding that copying had taken place. Held: The rejection of the dissection test in Ladbroke was as to the subsistence of copyright and not as to infringement. Evidence of those in the industry as to practice may not allow for elements of law known to the judge. The issue of copying was for the judge. Though the defendant had adopted the techniques used, that was inisufficient to found a claim of copying. There was a danger of allowing a creation of a monopoly in a technique. Appeal allowed.

Documents disclosed in support an application in a costs taxation, remained subject to implied duties of confidence, and they could not be used for any other purpose, including to support litigation abroad. Where questions of US law arose, a US court was the best place to decide those questions. Legal privilege is not lost under English law because it cannot be claimed in another country: "To suggest otherwise would mean that a court, when deciding whether to uphold a claim for privilege, would need to be informed as to whether privilege could be claimed in all the countries of the world. . . The fact that under a foreign law the document is not privileged or that the privilege that existed is deemed to have been waived is irrelevant. The crucial consideration is whether the document and its information remain confidential in the sense that it is not properly available for use. If it is, then privilege in this country can be claimed and that claim, if properly made, will be enforced."

Though a computer program could not be patentable itself, the words 'as such' in the Patents Convention limited that exclusion, and a computer program properly said to produce a further technical effect was capable of protection by patent.

When deciding whether a copying of a computer program was substantial, the test was not whether the program would run without that code. It had to be looked at as a whole allowing for the skill and labour which had gone into different sections of code. The court emphasised the particular importance of experts being scrupulously independent in highly technical cases like computer cases.

Registration is to be refused in respect of descriptive marks, ie marks composed exclusively of signs or indications which may serve to designate the characteristics of the categories of goods or services in respect of which registration is applied for. Article 3(1)(c) therefore prevents descriptive signs and indications from being reserved to one undertaking alone because they have been registered as trade marks. A geographical name could not normally be registrable as a trade mark, even where a place was already associated with certain goods, or might become so associated. A name could only be registrable where had come to be associated with a particular product. As to the use of a registered mark by third parties: "In addition, Article 6(1)(b) of the Directive, to which the national court refers in its questions, does not run counter to what has been stated as to the objective of Article 3(1)(c), nor does it have a decisive bearing on the interpretation of that provision. Indeed, Article 6(1)(b), which aims, inter alia, to resolve the problems posed by registration of a mark consisting wholly or partly of a geographical name, does not confer on third parties the right to use the name as a trade mark but merely guarantees their right to use it descriptively, that is to say, as an indication of geographical origin, provided that it is used in accordance with honest practices in industrial and commercial matters."

Intellectual Property, Police Casemap
1 Citers
The issue was the potential disclosure by the police to the nurses' regulatory body of confidential information concerning the plaintiff, the matron of a nursing home. There had been insufficient evidence to charge the plaintiff with a criminal offence. The regulatory body wished to consider disciplinary proceedings. The plaintiff unsuccessfully sought an injunction to restrain the disclosure. Held: A countervailing public interest prevailed. The police investigating serious allegations were entitled to reveal the results to a professional regulatory body supervising the suspect. Such information is received by the police in confidence, and remains subject to the same limitations. However: "In order to safeguard the interests of the individual, it is . . desirable that, where the police are minded to disclose, they should, as in this case, inform the person affected of what they propose to do in such time as to enable that person, if so advised, to seek assistance from the court. In some cases, that may not be practicable or desirable, but in most cases that seems to . . be the course that should be followed." and "In my view, the guiding principles from the exercise of the power to disclose . . are those ennunciated in ex parte Thorpe. Each of the Respondent authorities had to consider the case on its own facts. A blanket approach was impermissible. Having regard to the sensitivity of the issues raised by the allegations of sexual impropriety made against LM, disclosure should only be made if there is a 'pressing need'. Disclosure should be the exception and not the rule. That is because the consequences of disclosure of such information for the subject of the allegations can be very damaging indeed. The facts of this case show that disclosure can lead to loss of employment and social ostracism, if not worse. Disclosure should, therefore, only be made if there is a pressing need for it."

The damage to be shown to found a claim of breach of confidence need only be slight, if real, particularly in the context of personally sensitive materials. The NHS was correct to advise against the supply by pharmacists of anonymised data to outside agencies. This was a use outside the intention of the owner of the confidence, and would be in breach.

Intellectual Property, Crime Casemap

The court was asked if the section 92(5) defence applied where the defendant does not know of the existence of the registered trade mark in question. Held: The defence is not available in such a case. The court noted that section 92(5) speaks of a reasonable belief that the 'manner' of use of the sign did not infringe 'the registered trade mark'. This presupposed an awareness by the defendant of the existence of the registration against which he can match his manner of use of the allegedly infringing sign. The test of whether a Trade Mark offence has been committed by a trader selling goods is whether or not the infringing goods have been offered for sale, and does not depend upon any test of whether the trader was aware of the infringement or whether he had been diligent in finding an answer. The defence related only to whether the manner of use of the mark was reasonable.

ECJ In accordance with the division of functions provided for by Article 177 of the Treaty (now Article 234 EC), the role of the Court of Justice is limited to providing the national court with the guidance on interpretation necessary to resolve the case before it, while it is for the national court to apply the rules of Community law, as interpreted by the Court, to the facts of the case under consideration.
It is possible that mere aural similarity between a trade mark and a sign, used for identical or similar products, may create a likelihood of confusion within the meaning of Article 5(1)(b) of First Directive 89/104 on trade marks. The more similar the goods or services covered and the more distinctive the earlier mark, the greater will be the likelihood of confusion.
In order to determine the distinctive character of a mark and, accordingly, to assess whether it is highly distinctive, it is necessary to make a global assessment of the greater or lesser capacity of the mark to identify the goods or services for which it has been registered as coming from a particular undertaking, and thus to distinguish those goods or services from those of other undertakings. In making that assessment, account should be taken of all relevant factors and, in particular, of the inherent characteristics of the mark, including the fact that it does or does not contain an element descriptive of the goods or services for which it has been registered. It is not possible to state in general terms, for example by referring to given percentages relating to the degree of recognition attained by the mark within the relevant section of the public, when a mark has a strong distinctive character.

The fact that specific goods bearing a Trade Mark had been authorised for distribution within the EEA, did not mean that the relative trade mark rights had been exhausted. They would only be exhausted where the consent related to each individual item in respect of which the exhaustion was pleaded. National rules providing for exhaustion by consent to products being put on the market outside the EEA were in breach of the EC Treaty.
The combined effect of articles 5 and 7.1 of the directive is to confer on the trade mark proprietor the exclusive right to control the first marketing in the EEA of goods bearing his trade mark, even if they are genuine goods which have previously been put on the market by him or with his consent outside the EEA.

European, Intellectual Property
ECJ 1 Under Article 4 of Regulation No 40/94 on the Community trade mark, the decisive factor if a sign capable of being represented graphically is to be eligible for registration as a Community trade mark is its capacity to distinguish the goods of one undertaking from those of another. Consequently, the distinctive character of a sign can be assessed only in relation to the goods or services in respect of which its registration is applied for.
2 Under Article 7(1)(c)of Regulation No 40/94 on the Community trade mark, `trade marks which consist exclusively of signs or indications which may serve, in trade, to designate the kind, quality, quantity, intended purpose, value, geographical origin or the time of production of the goods or of rendering of the service, or other characteristics of the goods or service' are not to be registered. It was thus the intention of the legislature that such signs should, by their very nature, be regarded as incapable of distinguishing the goods of one undertaking from those of another. The sign `BABY-DRY' - registration of which was sought in respect of `disposable diapers made out of paper or cellulose' and `diapers made out of textile' - is not capable of constituting a Community trade mark, being composed exclusively of words which may serve in trade to designate the intended purpose of the goods.
3 The Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs)was established by Regulation No 40/94 to register Community trade marks which, being valid throughout the territory of the Member States, are an important instrument for the completion of the internal market. The Boards of Appeal, which form part of the Office, also contribute, within the limits set by the regulation, to the application of that instrument. In that sense, there is continuity in terms of their functions between the Boards of Appeal and the examiner whose responsibility it is to take the decisions concerning applications for registration.
It is clear from the scheme of Regulation No 40/94, as well as from Articles 61(2) and 62(1) thereof - concerning the examination of the appeal and the ensuing decision - that it is not open to a Board of Appeal, which enjoys the same powers in determining an appeal as the examiner, simply to reject an applicant's arguments solely on the ground that they were not raised before the examiner. After considering an appeal, the Board should either rule on the substance of the issue or remit the matter to the examiner.
4 In proceedings contesting a decision of one of the Boards of Appeal of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs)refusing an application for registration of a trade mark on one of the absolute grounds for refusal set out in Article 7(1)(b), (c)or (d)of Regulation No 40/94, it is not for the Court to determine an application pursuant to Article 7(3)of the Regulation - seeking to establish that a mark has become distinctive in consequence of the use made of it - where the merits of that claim have not been considered by the Office.
5 Where an action is brought before the Community judicature contesting a decision of one of the Boards of Appeal of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs), the Office is required under Article 63(6)of Regulation No 40/94 to take the measures necessary to comply with the judgment of the Court of Justice. Accordingly, the Court of First Instance is not entitled to issue directions to the Office.

There is no rule requiring a court always to give fullest relief to parties in intellectual property cases. Where infringement of copyright by the sale of counterfeit software was found to be inadvertent or unintended, the judge could properly restrict the injunctive relief awarded, and an undertaking from the defendant was accepted.

An application to register a shape as a trade mark, on the basis of the shape only and without association with any other indication, would fail unless some particular element of the shape was driven by more than the need to produce a technical effect. Where an association with a particular shape with the applicant arising from long use was to be used found the claim, full evidence would be required. When application was made to register the shape of an electric toaster as a trade mark, LLoyud J said that he should ask: "does [the mark] have a meaning denoting the origin of the goods?"

When the court looked at whether the repair of a patented article was an infringement, the court would better achieve its required answer by asking whether the works amounted to a manufacture of the patented article, rather than a repair. The concept of implied licence was now to be disregarded. The acts in this case were not such as to constitute an infringement by the manufacture of the articles.

Intellectual Property, Civil Procedure Rules
A court hearing an appeal under the Act, and deciding whether or not to admit new evidence, must now bear in mind the overriding objectives of litigation as defined, and also the need for proportionality. In this case, the pre-hearing procedures had failed to identify the real issues between the parties, and justice required that additional evidence be admitted rather than the case be remitted for hearing.

European, Intellectual Property
It was proper for a national patents system to require that before any patent was lodged with that nation's patents registrar, any European Patent granted should become deemed void ab initio unless it was translated into the national language of that state. A requirement to do so within three months of being lodged was not infringement of the free movement of goods.

Intellectual Property
An unincorporated association has standing to pursue an action for passing off through an action brought by one or more of its members in a representative capacity despite its not being a natural legal person. A local association having held a trade fair for many years under a certain name could prevent a former member using the same name for a fair after leaving the association.

Mere confusion of identity was insufficient to establish the tort of passing off. The tort is not dependent upon intention. A claimant must establish that it has a goodwill capable of being damaged, that the confusion caused was such as to amount to a misrepresentation of some connection between the two companies, and that the misrepresentation had or was likely to damage the goodwill of the claimant.

The originator of 'Bach Flower Remedies' had distributed them widely, and encouraged the use of the term as a general descriptive remedies. After the plaintiff had registered the names as trade marks, the respondent challenged the registration, and it was found that the names had come to be understood as generic names for the remedies, were not capable of distinguishing the goods of one concern from another's, and the registration must fail.

The defendant's negotiators had asserted in an expressly "without prejudice" meeting, that the plaintiff was infringing its patent and they threatened to bring an action for infringement. The plaintiff sought to bring a threat action under section 70 relying on the statements. The judge held the statement inadmissible. Held: The plaintiff's appeal failed. Where there had been protracted discussions and negotiations between the parties on a without prejudice basis, it would be quite wrong to take words spoken during such meetings as constituting any threat of infringement proceedings or challenge to a patent so as to found an action for damages. The policy represented by the first statutory threats provision (section 32 of the 1833 Act) was to stop patentees who were (in Pope's words about Addison) "willing to wound but afraid to strike" from holding the sword of Damocles above another's head. The modern cases show that the protection of admissions against interest is the most important practical effect of the rule, but to dissect out identifiable admissions and withhold protection from the rest of without prejudice communications (except for a special reason) would not only create huge practical difficulties but would be contrary to the underlying objective of giving protection to the parties to speak freely and to compromise, admitting certain facts. Parties cannot speak freely at a without prejudice meeting if they must constantly monitor every sentence, with lawyers or patent agents sitting at their shoulders as minders.
Robert Walker LJ said that admissions against interest should be protected under the without prejudice rule, "In those circumstances I consider that this court should, in determining this appeal, give effect to the principles stated in the modern cases, especially Cutts v Head, Rush & Tompkins and Muller. Whatever difficulties there are in a complete reconciliation of these cases, they make clear that the without prejudice rule is founded partly in public policy and partly in the agreement of the parties. They show that the protection of admissions against interest is the most important practical effect of the rule. But to dissect out identifiable admissions and withhold protection from the rest of without prejudice communications (except for a special reason) would not only create huge practical difficulties but would be contrary to the underlying objective of giving protection to the parties in the words of Lord Griffiths in Rush & Tompkins at page 1300:
'To speak freely about all issues in the litigation both factual and legal when seeking compromise and, for the purposes of establishing a basis of compromise, admitting certain facts.'
The parties cannot speak freely at a without prejudice meeting if they must constantly monitor every sentence, with lawyers or patent agents sitting at their shoulders as minders." and "Apart from any concluded contract or estoppel, one party may be allowed to give evidence of what the other said or wrote in without prejudice negotiations if the exclusion of the evidence would act as a cloak for perjury, blackmail or other 'unambiguous impropriety' (the expression used by Hoffman LJ in Forster v Friedland)but this court has, in Forster v Friedland and Fazil Alizadeh v Nikbinwarned that the exception should be applied only in the clearest cases of abuse of a privileged occasion."

The claimant film artist showed a film to an advertising agency, who did not make use of it, but later appeared to use techniques and styles displayed in the film in subsequent material sold to third parties. Held: A film was protected as a dramatic work subject to copyright law, but not the artistic techniques demonstrated in it. "[W]here it is not suggested that the judge has made any error of principle a party should not come to the Court of Appeal simply in the hope that the impression formed by the judges in this court, or at least by two of them, will be different from that of the trial judge." As to jurisdiction: "On the other hand the standards applied by the law in different context vary a great deal in precision and generally speaking, the vaguer the standard and the greater the number of factors which the court has to weigh up in deciding whether the standards have been met, the more reluctant an appellant court will be to interfere with the trial judge's decision."

Where a party to an action asserted that the patent holder had abused his monopoly position, the courts in England had discretion to refuse the patent holder leave to apply to amend his patent. When dealing with such issues, the court was entitled to take into account a wider range of issues than that contemplated by the European Patent Office.

PC (New Zealand) Land was offered for sale. A potential buyer, the appellant was approached by a merchant bank with a proposal for finance. When he sought finance elsewhere, a company associated with the bank bought the land instead. The appellant complained that the information acquired by the bank on his behalf was confidential to him, and that the bank had acted in breach of its duty of confidence to him. He also claimed a breach of a duty of loyalty. Held: A duty of loyalty arises when a relationship gives rise to a legitimate expectation, which equity will recognise, that the fiduciary will not utilise his or her position in a way which is adverse to the interests of the principal. The court was unable to see an evidential basis for finding that a relationship of trust and confidence, in this sense of undertaking an obligation of loyalty, arose in this case. The claimant did not accept the proposal, and so no relationship arose. Characterising the duty to respect confidential information as fiduciary does not create particular duties of loyalty which are imposed as a result of the nature of the particular relationship and the circumstances giving rise to it. It is not the label which defines the duty. Though the defendant had acquired confidential information there was insufficient evidence that that information had been misused, or that the claimant had suffered any loss as a result directly of such use. Some of the information for which confidence was claimed was not capable of being confidential.

Intellectual Property, Commonwealth
(Mauritius) The claimant sought registration in Mauritius of a trade mark for the applicants which had been registered in the respondents name in several jurisdictions over the world. Mauritian law provided that an application for registration may be made by any person who has a right to use a trade mark, but also prohibited registration of marks where the use "would by reason of its being calculated to deceive or otherwise" be disentitled to protection in a court. The objectors had marked goods for export to Mauritius. Held: The marking of goods with the intention of exporting them to Mauritius was enough to constitute use of the mark there. The words "disentitled to protection in a court of justice", required not only a likelihood of deception or confusion but also a user at the relevant time by the owner of the mark which the court would protect. There was no effective distinction just because the word might be a domestic one.

Where information was given by a patient to the pharmacist, and he took the data, stripping out any possibility of the individual being identified, the duty of confidence which attached to the prescription was not breached by the passing on of the reduced quantity information to a third party who wished to provide a statistical analysis of the prescriptions filled.
