Dispute Summary
Eaton Corporation (plaintiff) sued BCH Electric Limited (defendant) for trademark infringement, alleging unauthorized use of marks CUTLER-HAMMER, CH Control, and CH after the expiration of a license agreement. The defendant, formerly Bhartia Cutler-Hammer Ltd., had previously operated as a joint venture with Eaton's predecessor and continued using the trademarks.
Outcome / Ruling
The court dismissed both applications for interim injunctions, finding in favor of the defendant and concluding that the plaintiffs failed to establish a prima facie case of infringement or passing off due to their abandonment of the marks and the defendant’s continuous use with knowledge and consent.
