Dispute Summary
N.A.Thangarajan AND SONS, a partnership firm, sued M/S.1ST CHOICE FOOD PRODUCTS for infringement of their registered trademark 'Hanuman' (with a depiction of Hanuman carrying the Sanjeevi Hill) used on groundnut oil and other edible oils, alleging deceptive similarity with the defendant’s ‘Chettinad’ brand edible oil labels which also featured a similar depiction of Hanuman. The plaintiff claimed passing off due to prior partnership relationship and subsequent relinquishment of rights by former partners.
Outcome / Ruling
The Madras High Court allowed the application for temporary injunction, restraining M/S.1ST CHOICE FOOD PRODUCTS from using the Hanuman depiction on their 'Chettinad' edible oil labels pending disposal of the suit.
