Dispute Summary
Skol Breweries Limited sued Som Distilleries & Breweries Limited and Shaw Wallace & Company Limited for trademark infringement, alleging unauthorized use of 'HAYWARDS 5000' and 'HAYWARDS 5000 SUPERSTRONG BEER' on beer products. The core issue was whether Skol had exclusive rights to the numeral '5000' despite a disclaimer condition in earlier registrations.
Outcome / Ruling
The High Court granted an injunction in favor of Skol Breweries Limited, restraining Som Distilleries & Breweries Limited from using the mark 'HAYWARDS 5000' and requiring them to dispose of existing stock by March 31, 2012.
