The plaintiff, M/s. Kamath Atul & Co., filed a passing off action against the defendant, M/s. Cadila Laboratories (P) Ltd., alleging that the latter was marketing an Ayurvedic herbal skin ointment under the name 'HERBINOL', which infringed upon the plaintiff's established trade mark 'HURBINOL'. The High Court dismissed the appeal but modified the temporary injunction order to restrict the defendants from marketing their product in five specific states until the suit's disposal.
V.B. Mohammed Ibrahim v.Alfred Schafraneck And Ors.
The plaintiff filed a suit seeking damages and injunction against defendants for manufacturing flower design chair seats, claiming patent rights. The court held that since the plaintiff was not registered as a patentee and had not followed the statutory procedure to register his title, he lacked the legal standing to file an infringement suit under Section 29 of the Patents and Designs Act. Furthermore, the court found that the actual invention was attributable only to defendants 1 and 2.
Eternal Limited v.Eternl Resilienttech Private Limited
The Karnataka High Court dismissed an appeal filed by Eternal Limited against an order granting an ad-interim ex-parte temporary injunction in favor of Eternl Resilienttech Private Limited, restraining Eternal Limited from using the mark 'Eternal' or any other mark deceptively similar to Eternl Resilinttech Private Limited's registered trademark. The court held that the appeal was not maintainable and that the remedy available to the appellant/defendant was to file an application under Order XXXIX Rule 4 of CPC. The court also directed the Trial Court to consider any such application within four weeks and pass appropriate orders on its merits.
