Dispute Summary
The Rajasthan High Court partially allowed an appeal filed by a prior user against the dismissal of his passing off suit. The court overturned the lower court's decision, which had dismissed the case based on the unregistered status of the plaintiff's trademark. The judgment affirmed that a prior user can maintain a passing off action under Section 27(2) of the Trade Marks Act, even against a registered owner, provided the plaint discloses a valid cause of action.
