Aristo Pharmaceuticals Limited
Dispute Summary
The Madras High Court ruled in favor of Wockhardt Limited, upholding the original ex parte injunction against Aristo Pharmaceuticals. The court found that despite the respondent's arguments regarding industry practice and generic terms, there was a likelihood of deception or confusion among unwary consumers due to the phonetic and visual similarity between the marks 'SPASMO-PROXYVON' and 'SPASMO-FLEXON'. This decision reinforces the principle that overall similarity is the key factor when assessing trademark infringement in the pharmaceutical sector.
