Dispute Summary
Swiss Bike Vertriebs Gmbh, a subsidiary of Accell Group, sued Imperial Cycle Mfg. Co. and Rocket Cycles Private Limited for trademark infringement and passing off related to the marks 'RALEIGH' and 'RALLIES' used on bicycles. The Defendants were using the mark 'RALLIES', which was deemed phonetically similar to Plaintiff’s registered mark ‘RALEIGH’, leading to potential consumer confusion.
Outcome / Ruling
The Court granted an interim injunction restraining the Defendants from manufacturing and selling bicycles under the mark 'RALLIES', allowing them 18 months to clear existing stock, and ordered them to shut down their website.
