Whereas the documents produced by the plaintiff are from the year 2015 onwards, they are contemporaneous in date and period, and that apart, the documents produced by the plaintiff inspire more confidence than the documents produced by the defendants. The learned Judge has also recorded in his findings that the defendants products bear the very same design of the plaintiff and that the first defendant being the distributor of the plaintiff, he could not claim more rights than his principal and also noted the statement of the plaintiff that the defendants taking advantage of being a distributor for plaintiff, had created their own design and are marketing the products under the name DIABEAT. The learned Judge has also taken into consideration the decision of the Bombay High Court in Suit (L) No.1842 of 2012, dated 23.12.2014, [Lupin Limited Vs. Johnson and Johnson] cited by the defendants and has distinguished the said judgment, by observing in paragraph No.30 of his order that in the case on hand, the distributors namely the defendants who have been appointed by the plaintiff, has usurped the artistic design of the plaintiff and had only interchanged the word, DIABLISS with DIABEAT and had commenced operations and had produced two documents from Rajinder Singh, whose details are not disclosed and as such, this Court can always step in to protect the copyright design of the plaintiff. The learned Judge has also relied on Section 17 of the Copyright Act, 1957 and the decision rendered by this Court Lalgudi G.Jayaraman Vs.Cleveland Cultural Allliance [MANU/TN/2297/2008] and recorded his finding in paragraph No.42 of his order that no explanation has been given as to why such documents and No Objection Certificates were not obtained immediately by the second defendant, as those documents were dated 12.03.2018 and the alleged artistic work was said to have been created in May 2015 and that the affidavit and the NOC given by Rajinder Singh are also not contemporaneous. The learned Judge, taking into consideration the rival submissions and the materials placed before him, have reached the conclusion that the plaintiff is entitled to injunction as prayed for and accordingly allowed the application in O.A.No.480 of 2018 and dismissed the application in A.No.4015 of 2018 filed by the defendants for vacating the interim order granted on 28.04.2018, vide his order dated 11.07.2018.

La Opala R.G. Ltd vs Cello Plast & Ors on 11 October, 2018

There is another aspect of the matter. It is curious to note that the defendant filed caveat although no cease and desist notice have been issued by the plaintiff. It is expected that the plaintiff must have studied the designs available in the market and found that adoption of the said four designs might lead to litigation. The adoption of the said marks have been consciously made knowing fully well that the said four marks have acquired goodwill and reputation in the market and are prior published designs. The uniqueness and novelty of the design is not a consideration in deciding an action in passing off as in such an action the plaintiff upon establishing distinctiveness of its product and establishing a connection of the product with the plaintiff can thwart an attempt by a rival trader to infringe the said marks, even if the said marks are registered in favour of a rival trader. The prior user of the said mark together with distinctiveness of the product coupled with the trinity tests permit a prior user of the trade mark to jealously protect its mark. Lupin Ltd. (supra) and other cases cited to show that invalidity of the trade mark even if registered can be raised in this proceeding would not be available on the ground of acquiescence. The respondent did not raise any objection after the designs were published in the journal. The respondents did not file any opposition in the trade mark registry. It is not being alleged in the affidavit that such registration was obtained fraudulently.
