patent settled · Dec 20, 2004

Intas Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. And Anr. v.Novaritis A.G., Schwarzwaldallee,

Madras High Court · O.A.No. 13/2004 and A.No. 1218 of 2004 in C.S.No. 5 of 2004; O.A.No. 14 of 2004 & A.No. 1076 of 2004 in C.S.No. 6 of 2004; O.A.No. 15 of 2004 and A.Nos. 841, 842 and 843 of 2004 in C.S.No. 7 of 2004; O.A.No. 16 of 2004 and A.Nos. 844, 845 and 846 of 2004

The dispute concerned the validity of an Exclusive Marketing Right (EMR) granted to Novaritis for the anti-cancer drug, Beta-Crystalline form of Imatinib Mesylate. Intas Laboratories challenged this EMR, arguing it created a monopoly and harmed public interest due to high pricing. The Madras High Court confirmed the interim injunction but mandated that the plaintiffs supply the drug freely to eligible patients.

patent defendant favorable · Apr 7, 1997

Ttk Textiles Ltd. v.Seagull Clothing (Pvt.) Ltd. And Anr.

Madras High Court · C.S.No. 6 of 1997

This Madras High Court judgment addressed appeals challenging the vacation of an interim injunction related to alleged infringement of a trademark and artistic work ('SEAGULL'). The court ultimately dismissed the plaintiff's appeals, upholding the single judge's decision. A key factor was the serious dispute over proprietorship of the mark, coupled with the fact that the plaintiff had not yet launched its products under the disputed brand, leading the court to find that the balance of convenience did not favor granting an injunction.
