A mark which is descriptive of the trader’s business or the geographical origin of its source of production cannot be inherently distinctive, and yet, may still be registrable if it is actually or factually distinctive in that the uninformed public can readily associate the mark with the trader’s product. Whether such actual or factual distinctiveness is attained is a pure question of facts provable, inter alia, by years of prior use and business resulting in the public associating the mark with the said trader’s product.

In assessing compensatory damages where infringement of intellectual property has been established, the evidential burden on loss of business profits caused by the sale of the infringing products is to be discharged by the plaintiff and measured against the “but for” test. Although an accountant’s expert opinion is not required by law, nonetheless, expert opinion on EBITA (earnings before interest, tax and amortization) may be considered by the court in determining the basis for the loss of profits.
