Mayil Traders v.Thiyagarajan
Mayil Traders, a long-established firm, filed an appeal against a judgment that favored its opponent, Thiyagarajan. The core issue revolved around whether the defendant's use of 'RAGAM' and similar packaging for cigars constituted trademark infringement against Mayil Traders' registered mark 'RATHAM'. The court found that the marks were visually and phonetically too close, leading to potential consumer confusion.
Shabbir Medical Hall v.Mohammed Naseer
Shabbir Medical Hall filed a suit alleging that Mohammed Naseer infringed its registered trademark, 'ISPAHANI TEA,' by using the deceptively similar mark 'FAMILY TEA' along with an imitation color scheme and get up. The plaintiff sought permanent injunctions and damages for this alleged infringement. However, the Madras High Court ultimately dismissed the appeals, confirming a single judge's order that revoked the leave granted to the plaintiff. The court held that the plaint failed to establish any part of the cause of action within its local jurisdiction.
