Dispute Summary
Acme Pharmaceuticals sued Torrent Pharmaceuticals alleging trademark infringement over the use of 'AROXIL' for cefadroxil, while Torrent used 'DROXYL' for the same drug. Acme sought an injunction to restrain Torrent from using 'AROXIL'. The Gujarat High Court considered whether a registered trademark derived from a generic drug name could be enforced against a prior user of a similar descriptive mark.
Outcome / Ruling
The Gujarat High Court dismissed Acme's appeal, upholding the lower court’s interim injunction against Torrent's use of 'AROXIL', but allowing the case to proceed towards final resolution.
