Dispute Summary
Manipal Academy of Health and Education (MAHE-1) sued Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE-2) and related entities, including Manipal International School, alleging trademark infringement and passing off by using the 'Manipal' mark in connection with educational services. MAHE-1 claimed that MAHE-2 was attempting to piggyback on its established reputation and goodwill associated with the 'Manipal' brand.
Outcome / Ruling
The Karnataka High Court allowed the appeals, setting aside the interim injunction granted by the Trial Court against Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE-2) and related entities. The court did not rule on the merits of the underlying suit but vacated the injunction pending further proceedings.
