Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court dismissed the appeal filed by United Biotech Pvt. Ltd., upholding the Intellectual Property Appellate Board's decision to remove its trademark FORZID from the register. The court found that the respondent, Orchid Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd, had successfully demonstrated a likelihood of confusion between their earlier registered mark ORZID and the appellant's mark FORZID in the pharmaceutical sector. This judgment reinforces the principle that even sophisticated buyers can be misled by deceptively similar marks operating in the same field.
