Sorting Hat Technologies Private Limited v.Fermat Education and Ors
The appeal challenged a judgment that dismissed applications filed by Sorting Hat Technologies Private Limited to vacate an interim injunction granted to Fermat Education and Ors. The High Court set aside the impugned order, noting that the plaintiffs failed to file a complete transcript of the alleged copyrighted content in the plaint.
M/s Patanjali Biscuits Pvt Ltd v.Hatsun Agro Product Ltd.
This appeal before the Madras High Court addressed disputes concerning alleged trademark infringement and passing off between Patanjali Biscuits Pvt Ltd and Hatsun Agro Product Ltd. The core dispute revolved around the similarity of trademarks 'AROKYA' and 'AAROGYA', particularly in relation to biscuit products. While the lower court had vacated an interim injunction, the appellate court focused on the procedural aspect of a Summary Judgment application filed by the defendants. Finding that the Single Judge dismissed the summary judgment request without sufficient reasons under commercial courts law, the High Court allowed the appeal and remanded the matter for reconsideration.
Palson Enterprises v.Kasi Group Of Companies
The Madras High Court dismissed the appeals filed by Palson Enterprises, upholding the Single Judge's decision to vacate the interim injunction. The court found that Palson had slept over the matter for eight months despite having knowledge of Kasi Group's use of the 'Kasi' name in their theatre business. While acknowledging the appellant's rights under the Trade Marks Act, the court held that issues of prior usage and comparative loss must be determined during a full trial, not at the interim stage.
