Dispute Summary
M/s.MRF Limited sued Powermax Rubber Factory for trademark infringement, passing off, and copyright violation related to their 'Muscleman Device', MRF CHEETAH, MRF SAHARA, MRF SAFARI, and PAHALWAN trademarks, alleging Powermax used similar marks and a bodybuilder logo. The dispute centered on whether Powermax's use created consumer confusion and unfairly exploited MRF’s established brand reputation in the tyre market.
Outcome / Ruling
The court partly allowed MRF’s suit, restraining Powermax from using the bodybuilder logo and marks deceptively similar to MRF's trademarks, but noted that Powermax had ceased use of CHEETAH, SAHARA, and SAFARI before the suit was filed.
