G.S.PATEL
Sanjay Soya Private Limited – Appellant
Versus
Narayani Trading Company – Respondent
JUDGMENT
G. S. Patel, J. - This order will dispose of the present Interim Application in this suit for trade mark and copyright infringement.
2. The trade mark in question is a label mark, not a word or a device mark. Apart from trade mark registration, the Plaintiff, Sanjay Soya Private Limited ("Sanjay Soya"), also claims copyright in the artistic work comprised in the label. On the footing that an image is more eloquent than a thousand words, I begin by reproducing images of the two rival marks and artistic works, taken from paragraph 21 of the Plaint. On the left is the packing used by Sanjay Soya. On the right is what is used by the Defendant, Narayani Trading Company ("Narayani Trading").
3. The predominant colour of Sanjay Soya's label/artwork is yellow. This is a colour associated with gold, oils or lemons. The package itself is rectangular. Across roughly the middle of the packing is a broad band in red. Across this are the words "SOYA DROP". These are rendered in white block letters with a drop-shadow effect and in a somewhat cinematic curvilinear fashion so that the beginning and ending letters are larger in size than the ones in the middle. In straight white lettering bel
