Mr. Johnson: Eut they wanted to export this to Bangkok after they knew of the existence of the mark.
Continuing, Mr. Johnson stated that importation into one country for exportation into another was po defence against infringement. Their whole point was that the defendants knew of the mark, knew that for the present his clients were eficcting no sales, and deliberately infringed the Ordinance. The only innocence there was that they did not know they could be prevented much against this unjust attitude from exporting the flour. There taken by the manager of the Bank. was a case in which a man import- ed cigarettes and sold them under a false description. He pleaded in- nocence of the existence of a descrip tion. but was found guilty. This was an exactly parallel case. They knew of the mark and, in spite of it. they brought the flour to Hongkong and said they acted innocently because they were going to export it. It had already been admitted by the defendants that between six and eight million bags of our passed through Hongkong annually and of this total about 500,000 bags were sold locally. The Magistrate, there fore, would appreciate what it meant to have a mark registered here to make a market for disposing of four in the neighbouring ports. One of his friend's other arguments was that the defendants had acted openly. What did openly amount to in the pre- sent case? They stated that they had. imported 20.000 bags of four in two years, which, as the Magistrate aptly said. was merely a drop in the It was obvious in the circum- sea." stances that if a merchant wanted to protect his trade mark he would have to employ an army of detectives for the purpose because of the small quantities dealt with
