George Pathmanathan a/l Michael Gandhi Nathan & Ors v Portcullis (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.

This case involves a dispute over the use of 'Portcullis' trademarks and logo between George Pathmanathan and several Malaysian companies (appellants) and Portcullis (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (respondent). The appellants, who were formerly part of the Portcullis Group, claimed rights to the trademarks and logo after acquiring shares in the Malaysian companies. The High Court ruled in favor of the respondent, finding trademark and copyright infringement. The Court of Appeal overturned this decision, holding that the goodwill and intellectual property rights remained with the Malaysian companies based on the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA).
