Dispute Summary
This case addressed a claim of passing off where the plaintiff, 'National Institute of Human Resources Development,' sought to restrain the defendant, 'Indian Institute of Human Resources Development.' The court found that despite minor differences in prefixes ('National' vs. 'Indian'), the similarity between the trade names was striking enough to cause confusion among the public. Furthermore, the court noted that the respondent had allegedly copied the plaintiff's activities and study materials while being employed as a legal adviser.
