Dispute Summary
Santosh Vishnu Mardhekar (plaintiff) sued Arun Shamrao Mardhekar (defendant) for trademark infringement, alleging defendant used a similar mark 'Ritkawali' on Shev Chiwda products, creating confusion despite plaintiff’s registered trademark including a device mark. The dispute centered around whether the defendant’s packaging infringed upon the plaintiff’s registered trademark given that the plaintiff was not using his registered device mark on product packets.
Outcome / Ruling
The High Court quashed the trial court's injunction order against the defendant, rejected the plaintiff's application below Ex.5, and directed the defendant to change the background color of his product packaging from red to blue.
