has spoken thus:
National Bell Co. & Anr vs Metal Goods Mfg. Co. (P) Ltd. & Anr on 18 March, 1970
―21. As far as the Appellant's argument that the word MOLA is
common to the trade and that variants of MOLA are available in
the market, we find that the Appellant has not been able to prima
facie prove that the said ‗infringers' had significant business
turnover or they posed a threat to Plaintiff's distinctiveness. In fact,
we are of the view that the Respondent/Plaintiff is not expected to
sue all small type infringers who may not be affecting
Respondent/Plaintiff business. The Supreme Court in National
Bell v. Metal Goods25, has held that a proprietor of a trademark
need not take action against infringement which do not cause
prejudice to its distinctiveness.

Glaxosmithkline Pharmaceuticals Ltd. vs Horizon Bioceuticals Pvt. Ltd & Anr. on 10 April, 2023
―...the owners of trade marks or copy rights are not
expected to run after every infringer and thereby remain
involved in litigation at the cost of their business time. If
the impugned infringement is too trivial or insignificant and
is not capable of harming their business interests, they may
overlook and ignore petty violations till they assume
alarming proportions. If a road side Dhaba puts up a board
of ―Taj Hotel‖, the owners of Taj Group are not expected to
swing into action and raise objections forthwith. They can
wait till the time the user of their name starts harming their
business interest and starts misleading and confusing their
customers.‖‖
