Whirlpool Of India Ltd vs Videocon Industries Ltd on 27 May, 2014
31. A look at the above comparative charts along with the charts set
out/annexed to the Plaint and the affidavit in rejoinder of the Plaintiff giving a
comparative analysis of the common features and similarities of the Defendant's
product and the Plaintiff's registered designs establishes beyond any doubt that
the Defendant has slavishly/brazenly copied/imitated the Plaintiff's design
which clearly satisfies the test for infringement and/or piracy as laid down in
the judgments in Castrol (supra) and Kemp (supra). Therefore, by no stretch of
imagination, can it be said that the Defendant's products are substantially
different from the Plaintiff's registered design.
