Dispute Summary
Merck Kgaa & Anr sued Abhinav And Ashok Trading As Pharmaffiliates Health Care for trademark infringement, alleging that the defendant's use of 'CARBOPHAR' created confusion with Merck’s registered trademark 'CARBOPHAGE' for pharmaceutical preparations used to treat cardiovascular systems. The plaintiffs sought an injunction and damages.
Outcome / Ruling
The suit was decreed, granting a permanent injunction restraining the defendant from using 'CARBOPHAR' or deceptively similar marks, but denying damages due to lack of evidence of loss suffered by the plaintiffs.
