Trade mark

R v M; R v C; R v T [2017] UKSC 58, [2017] All ER (D) 20 (Aug)

On the true construction of s 92(1) of the Trade Marks Act 1994, signs (or trade marks) which had been applied to goods for which there had originally been an authorisation of manufacture by the registered trade mark holder, but whose sale had not been authorised by him, fell squarely within the description in s 92(1)(b) of the Act. Accordingly, the Supreme Court dismissed the appellants’ appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal.
