Apex Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. v.Apex Formulations Pvt. Ltd.

Madras High Court · Application No.317 of 2011 in C.S.No.614 of 1998

The Madras High Court addressed an application seeking a stay in a trademark infringement suit. While the applicant argued for a stay pending opposition proceedings, the court determined that since the original suit was filed under the older Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958, the relevant provisions applied. The court framed an issue questioning the validity of the plaintiff's trade mark registration and adjourned the case to allow the defendant time to comply with statutory requirements regarding challenging the trademark's validity.
