Dispute Summary
Aquapump Industries, manufacturers of motor pumps, sued Vinod Kumar Rachodmal Rathod for trademark infringement and passing off, alleging that Rathod was using deceptively similar marks 'PRIDE TEXMO, MP TEXMO AND BLH TEXMO' which diluted the distinctiveness of Aquapump’s ‘TEXMO’ mark. Aquapump had previously filed an opposition petition against Rathod’s application to register these marks.
Outcome / Ruling
The Madras High Court granted an order of interim injunction against Vinod Kumar Rachodmal Rathod, preventing him from using the marks 'PRIDE TEXMO, MP TEXMO AND BLH TEXMO', but with a 21-day delay before it becomes operative to allow Rathod to contest the order.
