Canon Kabushiki Kaisha v Green Cartridge Co (Hong Kong) Ltd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canon Kabushiki Kaisha v Green Cartridge Co (Hong Kong) Ltd[1] is a 1997 decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (1) re-affirming the principle of UK copyright law that the copying of functional three-dimensional objects is an infringing reproduction of the drawings of the objects, and (2) limiting the doctrine of non-derogation from grants as to chattels to "the case in which the unfairness to the customer and the anticompetitive nature of the monopoly is as plain and obvious as it appeared to the House of Lords in the British Leyland case."
