Description
Summary:The import of mobile phone screens, unlawfully affixed with a trademark covered by a permanent marker amounts to trademark infringement under Sec. 4 subsec. 1(a), cf. subsec. 3 of the Trademarks Act. The removal or covering of the affixed trademarks by a permanent marker alone does not eliminate the risk of harm to the trademark’s functions, since the ink from the marker may be removed. Protection in such a case cannot be weaker than in cases where the original trademark has been permanently removed.
