M/s.Green Energy Resources v.Union of India and others
M/s.Green Energy Resources filed a writ petition seeking the restoration of Patent No.343974, which had lapsed because the renewal fees were not deposited by the Petitioner's authorized agent.

M/S.Mahavir Pvc Cables Factory v.M/S.Indo Mahaveer Kable
The Orissa High Court granted a temporary injunction in favor of M/S. Mahavir PVC Cables Factory against M/S. Indo Mahaveer Kable. The court found that the Respondent's use of 'INDO MAHAVEER KABLE' was phonetically and visually deceptive to the Plaintiff’s reputed trade mark, 'MAHAVIR'. Crucially, the court also considered the public interest, noting that the Defendant was using sub-standard materials in their products, thereby protecting consumers from potential harm. This ruling reinforces the importance of preventing market confusion and ensuring consumer safety when dealing with trademark disputes.
Sysmed Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. v.Panbross Pharmaceuticals
The Orissa High Court upheld a temporary injunction granted against Panbross Pharmaceuticals, finding that their product 'HYCAL FORTE' was deceptively similar to Sysmed Laboratories' established drug 'HICAL'. The court emphasized the high risk of consumer confusion in the pharmaceutical sector, where such errors can have disastrous health consequences. Given the phonetic and visual similarity between the marks, the High Court ruled that a prima facie case for passing off existed, thus dismissing the appeal.
