Dispute Summary
Merck Kgaa sued Meck Pharmachem Limited alleging infringement of its registered trademark 'MERCK' due to defendants’ use of marks 'GLUCOMECK' and 'MECK', particularly in connection with pharmaceutical goods falling under Class 5. The plaintiff also claimed passing off and sought a declaration that 'MERCK' is a well-known mark.
Outcome / Ruling
The court framed several issues relating to infringement, passing off, well-known mark status, and territorial jurisdiction, but did not render a final decision on the merits; it directed parties to file witness lists and affidavits and scheduled an interim relief hearing for August 6, 2020.
