In this undefended application concerning trademark infringement, passing off, and depreciation of goodwill, a court found that the Applicants successfully demonstrated violations relating to the trademarks "DAHU HOTPOT" and "DAHU HOTPOT & Design." The evidence submitted indicated that the Applicants held valid registrations for these trademarks, which were being used without authorization by the Respondents. The court established that confusion was likely to arise concerning the associated goods and services, substantiating the claims of infringement and passing off. The ruling was issued in favour of the Applicants, specifically against one of the Respondents. Additionally, the court addressed issues of personal liability for one Respondent and outlined the remedies available to the Applicants, including costs. The case highlights the importance of trademark protection and the need for authorization in the usage of established marks.
