Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court addressed applications for ad interim injunction concerning the anti-diarrhea drug LOMOTIL. The court found considerable merit in the plaintiffs' claims that the defendants' products (MICROTIL and MONOTIL) were deceptively similar to LOMOTIL, particularly regarding trade dress, packaging, and color scheme. However, instead of outright banning the defendant's trademarks, the court modified the existing injunctions. The defendants are permitted to market their products under their respective names, provided they significantly alter their product's visual appearance (trade dress) to avoid consumer confusion.
