Dispute Summary
The dispute centered on whether M/S Cadbury (India) Ltd.'s use of 'PICNIC' infringed upon M/S S.M. Dyechem Ltd.'s registered trade mark 'PIKNIK'. The petitioner sought an injunction, alleging phonetic and visual similarity. However, the Supreme Court ultimately dismissed the appeal, finding that the essential features of the marks were different when viewed as a whole, and there was no scope for deception among the ordinary customer.
