Dispute Summary
This case involved a suit for infringement under the Designs Act, 1911, where the plaintiff sought perpetual injunctions against the defendant for pirating their registered footwear design. The core legal dispute revolved around whether the plaintiff had a valid right to protection when evidence suggested that a prior entity (Liberty Footwear Company) possessed an identical or similar design registration dating back earlier than the plaintiff's. The court ultimately ruled that one 'pirator cannot injunct another pirator,' leading to the vacation of the interim injunction granted to the plaintiff.
