Corn Products Refining Co. vs Shangrila Food Products Ltd. on 8 October, 1959

As we said in Corn Products Refining Co. v. Shangrila Food Products Ltd. the question has to be approached from the point of view of a man of average intelligence and imperfect recollection. To such a man the overall structural and phonetic similarity of the two names "Amritdhara" and "Lakshmandhara" is, in our opinion, likely to deceive or cause confusion. We must consider the overall similarity of the two composite words "Amritdhara" and "Lakshmandhara". We do not think that the learned Judges of the High Court were right in saying that no Indian would mistake one for the other. An unwary purchaser of average intelligence and imperfect recollection would not, as the High Court supposed, slot the name into its component parts and consider the etymological meaning thereof or even consider the meaning of the composite words as 'current of nectar' or 'current of Lakshman'. He would go more by the overall structural and phonetic similarity and the nature of the medicine he has previously purchased, or has been told about, or about which has otherwise learnt and which he wants to purchase.... We are aware that the admission of a mark is not to be refused, because usually stupid people, "fools or idiots", may be deceived. A critical comparison of the two names may disclose some points of the two names may disclose some points of difference but an unwary purchaser of average intelligence and imperfect recollection would be deceived by the overall similarity of the two names Page 2022 having regard to the nature of the medicine he is looking for with a somewhat vague recollection that he had purchased a similar medicine on a previous occasion with a similar name.

Metro Playing Card Co. vs Wazir Chand Kapoor on 29 November, 1971

24. So far as the plea of the defendant based on bonafide concurrent user is concerned, in Metro Playing Card Co. v. Wazir Chand Kapoor , it was held by the court that even in a case where the defendant was able to get a registration for a concurrent user but till the date of registration of the trademark, there can be no doubt that the plaintiff's trademark is infringed by the defendant and thereby the plaintiff's statutory rights under Section 28 of the Act are violated. Consequently, so long as the registration of the plaintiff's trademark subsists, it is not open to the defendant to violate the same.
