The holders of a certificate under the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act 1883 for the copyright of a registered design for kitchen-range fire-doors, the design being for ‘a range fire-door with moulding on top, the moulding forming part of range, shape to be registered,’ applied for interdict against an alleged infringement.
Held (aff. the judgment of the First Division) that as the outline of the moulding on the fire-door complained of was an obvious imitation of the registered design, it was an infringement thereof.
