Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court addressed a passing-off suit where the plaintiff, owning the 'AVIS' trademark for garments, sought to stop the defendant from using the same name for air coolers. While acknowledging the difficulty in proving that the goods were cognate or sold through the same channels, the court partially granted relief. It ruled that although the defendants could continue marketing their products under the trade name Avis, they were restrained from using the specific peculiar manner of representation registered by the plaintiff under the Copyright Act.
