Dispute Summary
Dhanavilas Madras Snuff Company sued MS Snuff Company for trademark infringement, alleging that MS Snuff Company's use of 'M.S/D.S.' on snuff pouches created a deceptive similarity to Dhanavilas’ registered trademarks ‘D.S’ and constituted passing off due to similar get-up, color scheme, and trade name.
Outcome / Ruling
The suit was decreed in favor of Dhanavilas Madras Snuff Company, granting permanent injunctions against MS Snuff Company’s infringing activities and ordering destruction of offending materials, except for a prayer regarding accounts which was withdrawn by the plaintiff.
