Dispute Summary
The plaintiffs sought a declaration of exclusive ownership and permanent/temporary injunction against the defendants for infringing their distinctive tooth brush designs ('ACQUA FLEX' and 'ACQUAFRESH FLEX N' DIRECT) and for passing off. The court ultimately dismissed the application for temporary injunction, finding that the plaintiffs failed to establish trans-border goodwill or reputation.
