Upendra Nath Dass And Sons v.T.C. Martin
The plaintiff (Upendra Nath Dass And Sons) filed a suit seeking an interim injunction against the defendant (T.C. Martin) for groundless threats related to Patent No. 63186, which covers crushing machines used in tea manufacturing. The plaintiffs argued that the patent was invalid and they were not infringing it. However, the court held that merely claiming the patent is invalid is insufficient; the plaintiff must unequivocally state that there has been no infringement of the patent.
