(2) In any action for infringement of the right to the use of a trade
mark given by registration in Part B of the register, otherwise than by
an act that is deemed to be an infringement by virtue of section 9, no
injunction or other relief shall be granted to the plaintiff if the defendant
establishes to the satisfaction of the court that the use of which the
plaintiff complains is not likely to deceive or cause confusion or to be
taken as indicating a connexion in the course of trade between the goods
and some person having the right either as proprietor or as licensee to
use the trade mark or in respect of services that a person having the right
either as proprietor or as licensee to use the trade mark is connected in
the course of business with the provision of the services.
9. (1) Where, by a contract in writing made with the proprietor or
a licensee of a registered trade mark, a purchaser or owner of goods or
a person performing the services, enters into an obligation to the effect
that he will not do, in relation to the goods or services, an act to which
this section applies, any person who, being the owner for the time being
of the goods or the person performing the services and having notice
of the obligation, does that act, or authorizes it to be done, in relation
to the goods or services, in the course of trade, or with a view to any
dealing therewith in the course of trade thereby infringes the right to
the use of the trade mark given by the registration thereof, unless that
person becomes the owner of the goods by purchase for money or
money’s worth or performs the services in good faith before receiving
notice of the obligation or by virtue of a title claimed through another
person who so became the owner thereof.
(2) The acts to which this section applies are(a) the application of the trade mark upon the goods after
they have suffered alteration in any manner specified in
the contract as respects their state or condition, get-up or
packing;
(b) in a case in which the trade mark is upon the goods, the
alteration, part removal or part obliteration thereof;
Infringement by
breach of certain
restrictions.
