Time Incorporated, proprietor of the globally recognized magazine 'TIME', sued Lokesh Srivastava and others for infringing its trademark 'TIME' and slavishly imitating its distinctive red border cover design through their publication 'TIME ASIA SANSKARAN'. The court found that the defendants were deceptively similar to the plaintiff's mark and goodwill. Consequently, the court granted a permanent injunction, ordered rendition of accounts, and awarded damages.
Glaxo Smithkline Consumer Healthcare v.Anchor Health And Beautycare Private
The plaintiffs sought an ad-interim injunction against the defendant for infringing their registered toothbrush design (No. 170554). The defendant argued that the design was not novel, was obvious imitation of existing designs, and that the plaintiffs had concealed material facts regarding prior litigation and earlier public domain designs to obtain the injunction.
Corning, Incorporated And Ors. v.Raj Kumar Garg And Ors.
The plaintiffs, a global manufacturer of ophthalmic glass blanks, sought an ad-interim injunction against the defendants for importing, manufacturing, and distributing counterfeit products bearing the distinctive "two ribs" design.
