Miss.Kajal Aggarwal v.The Managing Director, M/s.V.V.D. & Sons P.Ltd.
The actress, Miss. Kajal Aggarwal (Appellant), filed an appeal against the refusal to grant interim injunction, alleging that the Respondent used her image and profile for promoting their hair oil and coconut oil products after the one-year endorsement agreement expired. The court ruled in favor of the appellant, holding that the right to use the actress's profile is limited by the contract duration, thus granting the injunction.
Matrix Laboratories Limited v.F.Hoffman La Roche Ltd.
This appeal involved Matrix Laboratories Limited challenging an order that granted leave to sue regarding alleged infringement of Patent No. 196774, which covers Erlotinib Hydrochloride. The core dispute centered on whether the appellant's filing of a revocation petition before the IPA Board in Chennai created sufficient territorial jurisdiction for the Madras High Court to hear the suit. The court ultimately ruled that merely approaching the IPA Board does not automatically confer cause of action or jurisdiction, especially when the appellant's primary operations are elsewhere.
M/s.Nakoda Dairy (P) Ltd. v.M/s.Kewal Chand Vinod Kumar
Nakoda Dairy (P) Ltd., the registered owner of the trade mark 'NAKODA' for milk products, filed appeals challenging the dismissal of its applications for temporary injunction. The Respondents argued that they were prior and long-term users of the mark since 1978, and that the Plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case.
Electronic Machine Tools Limited v.Power Engineers
Electronic Machine Tools Limited filed a suit seeking permanent injunction and damages for infringement of its registered patents (Nos. 188585 and 190675). The trial court rejected the plaint, finding no cause of action against the first respondent. The High Court allowed the appeal, holding that the plaint did disclose a triable issue.
