Cadbury Ltd. And 2 vs Itc Ltd. And 1 on 20 July, 2005

3. Factors (c) (d) and (e) can be considered together as the same are closed connected. The goods in respect of which the labels are used are confectionary items, being chocolate eclairs worth Re. 1/- each, which are consumed mostly by children, belonging to all the strata of society, whether rich or poor and whether literate or illiterate. Hence, the purchasers of these goods belong to different classes, but mostly comprising of children who cannot be expected to exercise a very high degree of care and caution in purchasing these goods. A child would generally go by the image he carries of a certain product, and considering the similarities between the two products, there is all likelihood that he would not be in position to make out the difference, if the defendants' goods are passed off as that of the plaintiffs'. Both the products are targeted at the same consumers/customers, who could be both villagers and towns-folk, literate and illiterate, children and adults and both are sold through the same trade channels. Hence, degree of care that would be exercised by the class of purchasers who are likely to buy these goods would be the common man wherein the principle of imperfect recollection would apply with full force. The decision of the Delhi High Court in the case of Kellogg's (supra) cannot be made applicable to the facts of the present case, as in the said case the Court had categorically found that the persons who go to purchase 'Kelloggs' Corn Flakes belong to the middle class and above who are fairly educated in English and able to distinguish 'Kelloggs' and what is not 'Kelloggs'; which cannot be said so in the facts of the present case.

Sanjay Kapur & Anr. vs Dev Agri Farms Pvt Ltd on 28 February, 2014

30. Learned counsel appearing for the plaintiff has strenuously urged that even otherwise the judgment in Kellogg Company vs. Pravin Kumar Bhadabhai & Anr. (supra) is no longer a good law and that this was noted by this Court in the case of N. Ranga Rao and Sons versus Anil Garg and Ors., 2006 (32) PTC 15. However, I need not go into this submission in view of the fact that in my view the Kellogg‟s judgment was made based on the facts that the trade dress of the defendant was entirely different from the trade dress of the plaintiff and there was absolutely no scope for confusion.
