Dispute Summary
N. Murali (individual) representing Rasnam Foods Private Limited, RSM Foods Private Limited, Prasanam Foods Private Limited, GVR Foods Private Limited, sued Sangeetha Caterers and Consultants LLP for trademark infringement and passing off after the defendants' franchise agreement was terminated. The defendants continued operating restaurants under the name 'geetham,' a variation of the plaintiff’s ‘Sangeetha,’ creating confusion among consumers.
Outcome / Ruling
The Madras High Court partly allowed the appeal, modifying the single judge’s order by permitting the defendants to continue using 'geetham' with altered color schemes and upper-case letters, subject to issuing a public advertisement disclaiming any connection to the plaintiffs.
