Trade Marks Act, 1999 Section 28

Plaintiff registered proprietor of well trademark GENERAL ELECTRIC and GE and the GE monogram in relation to a number of services — defendants applied to the Registrar of Trademark for registration of the mark GE LITE in relation to motorcycle boxes — There does not appear to be any reason for the defendants to adopt the said trademark other than to encash the goodwill and reputation of the plaintiff to their undue enrichment — Nothing at all to show that the defendants were, in fact, carrying on business of manufacture and sale of the motorcycle boxes in the name and style of GE LITE — Suit decreed for the relief of permanent injunction.
