Herein referred to as the said Act. It is alleged that on 9th April, 1995, the mark has been renewed for a period of 7th years and as such a mark is validly registered as a trade mark for marketing the plaintiff's products under the name and style of Lomotil, which is a drug for treatment of diarrhoea. The suit is filed marking a grievance of infringement of the said trade mark by the Defendant using the mark which is deceptively similar to the registered trade mark of the plaintiff.
