Dispute Summary
Mahle Filter Systems India Private Limited (Plaintiff) sued Mobis India Limited & Anr (Defendants) alleging infringement of their trademarks 'MAHLE' and 'PUROLATOR' due to the Defendants’ use of automobile makes and models on Plaintiff’s filter packaging. The Defendants claimed this constituted permissible denominative use, but Mahle sought an injunction and damages.
Outcome / Ruling
The court disposed of the suit with directions for Mahle to modify its packaging, replacing 'Suitable for' with 'Adapted to form part of' and adding a disclaimer stating 'WE HAVE NO TRADE CONNECTION WITH HYUNDAI', while restraining Mobis from threatening infringement claims.
