Dispute Summary
Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (Crompton) sued V Guard Industries Limited (V Guard), alleging infringement of V Guard's registered trademark 'PEBBLE' for water heaters by Crompton’s use of 'CROMPTON PEBBLE' on electric irons. The dispute centered around whether the use of 'PEBBLE' by Crompton, despite different goods, infringed V Guard's mark due to reputation.
Outcome / Ruling
The Delhi High Court partly allowed Crompton’s appeal, setting aside the interim injunction against Crompton but affirming the finding that V Guard had established a prima facie case for infringement under Section 29(4) due to the mark's reputation.
