Dispute Summary
Virbac Animal Health India Pvt Ltd appealed a lower court's decision to reject its plaint. The original suit alleged infringement of copyright and passing off of a trademark. The trial judge had rejected the suit based on Section 15(2) of the Copyright Act, 1957, citing that the product was manufactured more than fifty times. Virbac argued that this limitation should not apply as their claim also involved trademark passing off, which is excluded from certain definitions in other IP statutes.
