In response to the suit, the 2nd Defendant applied to the Registrar to cancel and remove their registration for the mark Achoura from the Trademark Registry. The Registrar compiled and registered the mark in our client's name.
The Registrar refused our client's application and did not change her decision when we opposed same. Consequently, we appealed the Registrar's decision at the High Court.
The court found that the Defendant infringed on our client's copyright and that the use of our client's work to promote the 2018 CAF Awards could not amount to permitted use. Our client was awarded damages of $250,000.
The court found that the Defendant had infringed on the Plaintiff's copyright. The court also found that the Defendant had engaged in unfair competition. The court accordingly awarded our client with damages of GHS100,000.
