Dispute Summary
Castrol Limited sued A.K. Mehta and another for trademark infringement, alleging that defendants' use of 'Bestrol' grease and packaging deceptively similar to Castrol’s registered trademarks ‘CASTROL’ and ‘Castrol AP-3’ constituted an infringement and passing off. The plaintiffs claimed the defendants were diluting their brand and causing financial harm through deceptive marketing practices.
Outcome / Ruling
The court granted a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from using 'Bestrol' or similar marks/packaging and ordered delivery of infringing goods for destruction; however, the claim for damages was rejected due to lack of evidence.
