Dispute Summary
Carter Wallace Inc. sued Mod Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. for infringement of their trademarks NEAR and NAIR, alleging that Mod Laboratories was manufacturing and selling hair removers using the same marks, including exporting to Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The plaintiff sought an injunction against the defendant's use of the marks and destruction of infringing materials.
Outcome / Ruling
The suit was partly decreed: the defendants were permanently restrained from using the trademarks NEAR or NAIR (or deceptively similar marks) on hair removers, ordered to destroy infringing materials, and the plaintiff was awarded costs ex parte. Prayers for an accounting of profits and further destruction orders were rejected as abandoned.
