Dispute Summary
The Madras High Court ruled in favor of Snj Distilleries Ltd (the plaintiff), overturning a single judge's order that restricted the injunction. The court held that despite the plaintiff not having an existing license in Tamil Nadu, the defendant's use of 'Brihan's Gold Napoleon Brandy' was deceptively similar to the plaintiff's established mark. Applying the test of the ordinary consumer, the court found a likelihood of confusion among liquor buyers, thereby granting the injunction for the entire state.
