In House Productions Pvt. Ltd. v.Meediya Plus
In House Productions Pvt. Ltd. appealed against a single judge's order rejecting applications for interim injunction. The petitioner sought to prevent the respondent, Meediya Plus, from continuing production or telecasting the serial 'Vikramadityan' due to alleged breach of an MOU. The High Court dismissed the appeals, upholding the lower court's finding that irreparable loss was not established and the balance of convenience did not favor the appellant.
Needle Industries (India) Limited v.Sanjay Jaiswal And Ors.
The Madras High Court ruled in favor of Needle Industries, upholding an injunction against the defendants for passing off. The court found that despite the defendant obtaining a trademark registration for 'Pony' in the class of sewing threads (Class 23), this registration did not grant immunity from a passing-off action. Given that needles and sewing threads are cognate goods sold through the same trade channels, the use of the plaintiff's well-known mark by the defendants was deemed to cause near-certain confusion and ride on the established goodwill.
