Dispute Summary
The Coca-Cola Company sued Mr. Dwarkanath, owner of Harshini Electronics, alleging infringement of their trademarks KINLEY (label) and DANUBE BOTTLE shape by the defendant's use of the mark KWALTY on bottled drinking water packaged in a bottle with an identical shape to Coca-Cola’s distinctive DANUBE BOTTLE. The plaintiffs claimed deceptive similarity due to copied label elements and overall get-up.
Outcome / Ruling
The court passed a decree of permanent injunction restraining Mr. Dwarkanath from manufacturing, selling, or marketing products using the KWALTY mark and/or bottle shape infringing Coca-Cola’s trademarks, and awarded costs to the plaintiffs.
