Dispute Summary
The Plaintiffs, manufacturers of desalination plants under the trade mark 'DISK TUBE', filed a Notice of Motion alleging that the Defendants were using the deceptively similar mark 'DISK & TUBE' to injure their reputation. The Defendants argued that the term is descriptive of the technology (Disc and Tube Reverse Osmosis) and that the Plaintiffs lacked exclusive rights over it. The Court ultimately held that the word was merely descriptive and had not acquired distinctiveness, leading to the vacation of the injunction.
