Dispute Summary
Chemical Industrial And (Indian Drug House) sued Prasanta Rotan Dhan (Cipla) alleging infringement of their trademark 'Tonic Phosphotone' by Cipla’s use of ‘Cipla Phosphoton’ for similar medicine products. The dispute centered on whether 'Phosphotone' was descriptive or invented, and if so, whether it had acquired secondary meaning.
Outcome / Ruling
The appeal was allowed, setting aside the decrees of the lower courts and dismissing the suit against Cipla with costs throughout.
