A three-member Court of Appeal bench ruled that the High Court had erred by looking at individual features of the events separately instead of considering their overall impression. PUTRAJAYA : The Court of Appeal has allowed ASC Agenda Suria Communications Sdn Bhd’s appeal against a High Court decision that dismissed its lawsuit accusing two Indian festival organisers of copying the branding and identity of its events. The High Court in 2024 dismissed ASC’s claim, ruling that the defendants had not passed off their events as ASC’s or caused confusion among the public. The Court of Appeal disagreed, awarding RM120,000 in costs and sending the case back to the High Court to assess damages. Lawyers S Rajashree and Rex Kuan appeared for ASC, while M Dinesh, G Devaneson and S Jeyanthi represented the respondents.
