Suit for permanent injunction restraining infringement of trademark, passing off, damages, delivery of accounts . Plaintiff is the proprietor of the trademark SASKEN and of its logo it has world wide presence.
Defendant working under the name and style of Sasken Biotech Pvt. Ltd.
HELD "I accept the contention of the learned counsel for the plaintiff that the trademark "Sasken" is an invented word and the defendants have no jurisdiction to use the same either as a trademark or as part of their corporate name in relation to pharmaceutical goods of any kind. The defendants are thus guilty of infringement of trademarks within the meaning of Section 29(4)(5) of Trademark Act, 1999. As regards the case of passing off, it is well established law that no actual confusion and deception is necessary in order to prove the case.
Therefore relief of Rs 2 lac as punitive damages and cost of the suit awarded
