Drs Logistics (P) Ltd. v.Sandeep Chohan @ Sandeep Kumar & Ors.

Delhi High Court · C.S. (OS) No.1293/2014

The Delhi High Court addressed an application for an ex-parte ad-interim injunction in a trademark infringement suit involving 'Agarwal Packers and Movers Ltd.' The court noted the delay (40-50 days) between when the plaintiff became aware of the alleged misuse and when the suit was filed. Despite citing precedents that allow injunctions despite delay, the judge held that because the delay was relatively short, granting an immediate ex-parte order would cause greater mischief to the defendants than waiting for them to be served notice. Consequently, the court denied the interim injunction and directed proper service of summons.

Indofill Organic Industries Ltd. v.Mr.Amar Vakil & Ors.

Delhi High Court · CS(OS) No.2431/2007

The Delhi High Court ruled in favor of Indofill Organic Industries Ltd., granting permanent and mandatory injunctions against the defendants regarding the use of the domain name 'Indofil.com'. The court found that the defendants' actions, particularly altering the website content to suggest financial distress, constituted malicious infringement and caused damage to the plaintiff's trademark reputation. Consequently, the court ordered the transfer of the domain name to Indofill and awarded damages.

Tenxc Wireless Inc. v.Andrewcomm. Scope Inc.

Delhi High Court · CS(OS) No. 1993/2010 (IA No.15387/2010)

Glaxo Group Ltd. v.Sunlife Sciences Pvt. Ltd.

Delhi High Court · CS(OS) No. 331/2010

The Delhi High Court granted an ad interim injunction in favor of Glaxo Group Ltd. against Sunlife Sciences Pvt. Ltd. regarding trademark infringement. The court found that the defendant's use of deceptively similar names (B-NATE-C, CORSUN, ZEETAK) for pharmaceutical products was likely to cause consumer confusion with the plaintiffs' well-known brands (BETNOVATE, CROCIN, ZINETAC). Given the public interest in preventing the sale of spurious drugs, the court emphasized that prima facie evidence and balance of convenience favored restraining the defendant until the final trial.

patent mixed · Sep 10, 2010

M/S Flight Center Travels Pvt. Ltd. v.Rahul Nath & Ors.

Delhi High Court · CS(OS) No. 1193/2005

The Delhi High Court ruled partly in favor of M/S Flight Center Travels Pvt. Ltd., granting a permanent injunction against the defendants for infringing its trademark, 'Flight Center.' The court found that the plaintiff had sufficiently proven its reputation and goodwill as a well-known travel agency since 1994. However, the claim for damages and rendition of accounts was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to provide evidence demonstrating financial loss or profits made by the defendants.
