Dispute Summary
K.Ramapandi (Vasanthi & Co.) and Tamil Nadu Oil Industries sued Tamil Nadu Organics Industries for trademark infringement and passing off, alleging that the defendant's use of 'SUNOLA GOLD' with a similar colour scheme and get-up constituted an infringement of the plaintiff’s registered trademark 'SUNOLA'. The dispute centered on the similarity between the two marks used for edible oils.
Outcome / Ruling
The Court found that the defendant’s ‘SUNOLA GOLD’ mark was not deceptively similar in its entirety but restrained the defendant from using the word 'SUNOLA' due to the plaintiff's existing trademark registration, while dismissing some of the other claims for relief.
