Dispute Summary
Mankind Pharma Limited sued Novakind Bio Sciences Private Limited alleging trademark infringement over the use of 'NOVAKIND' in connection with pharmaceutical products, arguing it created a likelihood of confusion due to its similarity to Mankind’s ‘MANKIND’ and the shared suffix ‘KIND.’ The dispute centered on whether using 'NOVAKIND' as part of a corporate name constituted trademark infringement.
Outcome / Ruling
The court upheld the existing interim injunction restraining Novakind from using 'NOVAKIND' as part of its trade name or trademark, rejecting Novakind’s application to vacate the order.
