Dispute Summary
The Kerala High Court overturned a trial court order that had denied an interim injunction in a passing off suit. The plaintiff, Medivision Scan And Diagnostic..., successfully argued that despite the common use of the name 'Medivision,' their established reputation and prior use in the specific locality (Mavelikara) warranted protection against the defendant's deceptively similar trade name, 'MEDIVISION IND.' The court emphasized that passing off rights are distinct from trademark registration rights, allowing it to grant immediate relief based on the likelihood of public confusion.
