Dispute Summary
Castrol Ltd. (the appellant) sued A.K. Mehta (the respondent) for trademark infringement, alleging deceptive similarity between the respondent's lubricants packaging and Castrol’s distinctive containers and logo. The respondent used 'Castrol' on their lubricant products, mimicking Castrol’s color scheme and get-up, leading to a suit for permanent injunction, damages, and delivery up.
Outcome / Ruling
The Delhi High Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the earlier order dismissing the injunction application and restraining the respondent from using the trademark 'Castrol' in relation to lubricants or any deceptively similar mark.
