- Case Summary
The respondent was a section 21 company, and the owner of a number of trademarks in different classes, some consisting of the name "Century City" and others of devices containing that name and interlocking Cs. The appellant used the name "Century City Apartments" as its brand or business name. The respondent argued that the use of the appellant's corporate name, brand name, and domain name infringed the appellant's name and device marks. The court a quo accepted the submission without distinguishing between the name marks and the device marks and without considering the nature of the appellant's services. The appeal was upheld, and the relevant trade mark registrations were revoked
