International exhaustion of rights and refurbishment of end-of-life HDDs are examined: the noscitur a sociis principle informs reading of "changed" with "impaired." Reverse passing off is not a cause of action under the Trade Marks Act. Passing off requires goodwill, misrepresentation and probable damage; on the material before the court no prima facie misrepresentation or misappropriation of goodwill was shown. Statutory infringement requires use of the registered mark in the course of trade; removal of the proprietor's marks before resale means no use and thus no prima facie infringement. Consequently, interlocutory reliefs were rejected on these grounds.
