Franz Xaver Huemer v.New Yash Engineers
This Delhi High Court judgment addressed the critical issue of whether a foreign patent holder, who had not commercially exploited their registered patents in India for many years, could successfully seek temporary injunctions against alleged infringers. The plaintiff, Franz Xaver Huemer, sought to restrain New Yash Engineers from manufacturing and selling infringing textile machinery. However, the court found that the plaintiff failed to establish a strong prima facie case or demonstrate that the balance of convenience favored his claim, leading to the dismissal of his appeal.
Kellogg Company v.Pravin Kumar Bhadabhai And Another
Kellogg Company appealed a single judge's order that refused to grant a temporary injunction against Pravin Kumar Bhadabhai and another. The dispute centered on the respondent using a corn flakes carton similar in size and design (trade dress) to Kellogg's, leading to allegations of consumer confusion. The High Court ultimately dismissed the appeal, finding that the prominent difference between 'Kellogg's' and 'AIMS ARISTO' made any likelihood of confusion negligible.
Sardar Jaswant Singh v.M/S. Daya Industries And Another
Sardar Jaswant Singh appealed against the dismissal of his application (IA 1188/91) filed to set aside an earlier order where the design registration was cancelled by M/s. Daya Industries. The cancellation petition argued that the design for heat convectors was not new or original and had prior publication. The High Court ultimately dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant failed to demonstrate sufficient cause for his prolonged absence.
