Dispute Summary
LG Electronics India Pvt Ltd challenged the actions of Customs officials who were interdicting its imported consignments based on an infringement complaint filed by Bharat Bhogilal Patel regarding Patent No. 189027. The plaintiff argued that these actions constituted groundless threats, especially since it had initiated revocation proceedings against the patent's validity. The Delhi High Court ruled in favor of LG Electronics, finding that Customs authorities lacked the legal power to interdict goods solely based on a patent infringement complaint without prior civil adjudication.
