trademark plaintiff favorable · Feb 21, 2008

Paras Pharmaceuticals Ltd. v.Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd.

Gujarat High Court · 1056584

Paras Pharmaceuticals Ltd. filed a suit against Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd., alleging that Ranbaxy was using negative advertisement and TV commercials for its pain reliever VOLINI to disparage Paras's popular product, MOOV. The court found that Ranbaxy's commercial depicted a box identical in artistic work and color scheme to MOOV, subtly suggesting that MOOV was inferior. Consequently, the Gujarat High Court allowed the appeal and directed Ranbaxy to change its packaging colors and cease using the appellant's artwork.
