Khoday Distilleries Ltd.vsThe Scotch Whisky Association And Ors.

The appeal challenged the Assistant Registrar's order allowing rectification of the trade mark 'Peter Scot' (No. 273203). The respondents argued that the mark offended Section 9 of the Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958, as it was likely to deceive or cause confusion by suggesting Scottish origin. The court stayed the operation of the judgment pending further appeal.

The Bombay High Court allowed Sun Pharma Laboratories Limited's leave petition seeking to consolidate the cause of action for passing-off with the existing claim of trademark infringement against Rambos Lifesciences Pvt Ltd. The court found that since both causes of action arose from the same set of transactions, combining them was appropriate. Furthermore, the interim relief previously granted in the matter was directed to continue until the next hearing date.

M/S Vibhava Marketing CorporationvsGoramal Hari Ram Limited

The Delhi High Court modified a previous order that had dismissed the petitioner's applications for filing additional documents. After arguments, both parties reached a consent agreement allowing M/S Vibhava Marketing Corporation to amend its Written Statement to include details of two preceding trademark registrations ('MONKEY 555 WONDER WASH' and 'MONKEY 555 THUNDER WASH'). This amendment allows the petitioner to argue that their prior rights should dismiss the plaintiff's infringement claim, subject to payment of costs.

M/S.Sakthi Sai Safety Glass India & Sakthi Sai Glass Traders (Appellants)vsCompagnie De Saint-Gobain & Saint-Gobain India Private Limited (Respondents/Plaintiffs)

The Madras High Court dismissed appeals challenging an interim injunction granted to Saint-Gobain against Sakthi Sai Safety Glass India. The court found that the appellants, despite their contract with Saint-Gobain expiring, were infringing the 'Saint-Gobain' trademark by using it in connection with toughened glass products. Given the prima facie evidence of consumer confusion and dilution, the balance of convenience favored the trademark owner, upholding the injunction while allowing the main suit to proceed.
