Dispute Summary
This appeal before the Madras High Court addressed a dispute over registered designs for inflatable products like Air Water Beds. The plaintiffs sought permanent and interim injunctions against the respondents, alleging infringement of their design rights. However, the respondents argued that they had been manufacturing similar products prior to the registration date, invoking defenses related to prior publication under the Designs Act. The court clarified the scope of Section 22(3), holding that cancellation grounds are available at the interim stage, but ultimately directed the respondents to maintain accounts for potential future damages.
