Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court addressed applications for an interim injunction in a complex trademark dispute involving the marks 'Officer's Choice' and 'Original Choice', used for whisky. Despite the plaintiff having filed suits based on both passing off and registered trademark infringement, the court found that the plaintiff failed to establish the essential element of misrepresentation required for a passing off action. Consequently, the application seeking an interim injunction was dismissed, though the defendants were directed to maintain proper sales accounts.
