Dispute Summary
La Opala R.G. Ltd. challenged the trial court's refusal to grant an injunction against International Distilleries (I) Ltd., alleging passing off due to the use of the trade mark SOLITAIRE on alcoholic beverages, which La Opala used for glassware. The Calcutta High Court upheld the lower court's decision, finding that there was no prima facie case of confusion because the products—glassware and whisky—belonged to different classes and were not competing in the same market. Consequently, the appeal seeking an injunction was dismissed.
