Milmet Oftho Industries v. Allergan Inc .
Point of Law : Trade mark – Copyright - delay per se may not always be sufficient to disentitle the plaintiff to grant of an interim order.
The court confirmed trademark infringement, imposing strict penalties for contempt due to ongoing violations during injunction, requiring a rebranding to 'RMC' or 'RAAVI MASALA COMPANY'.
Infringement of trade mark - Business in infringement of a registered design or a mark or is guilty of passing off, such a business cannot be said to be carried on in accordance with law and no right....
The court affirmed that prior use of a registered trademark provides substantial grounds for an injunction against similar marks, emphasizing deceptive similarity effects on consumer perception.
The court affirmed the registered trademark holder's rights against similar marks and clarified standards for proving prior use and confusion under trademark law.
A plaintiff seeking an injunction must disclose all material facts; failure to do so may preclude equitable relief even if a prior user claim is made.
