Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court vacated an ex-parte injunction restraining the defendant from using the trade mark ZIFI, which was claimed to be deceptively similar to the plaintiff's CEFI. The court found that despite phonetic similarity, the defendant had a family of 'Z' trademarks and strong arguments regarding the weakness of pharmaceutical salt-derived marks. Considering the balance of convenience, the court ruled in favor of the defendant, allowing them to continue using their mark.
