Dispute Summary
Cipla Limited sued Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited for trademark infringement, alleging that Sun Pharma was using the mark 'RESPULES' on respiratory medicines in a manner likely to cause confusion with Cipla’s registered trademark ‘RESOULES’. The dispute also involved claims related to packaging and passing off.
Outcome / Ruling
The court disposed of the applications, allowing Sun Pharma to continue using 'RESPULES' while requiring them to maintain accounts of revenues earned from products bearing the mark and directing that the distinctiveness of RESPULES be framed as an issue for trial.
