https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=160571 Registered trade mark infringement was found where the respondent used "RUSTAM" and the composite expression "RUSTAM INDIA" for goods covered by the appellant's mark "RUSTON". The governing principle stated was that registration confers the exclusive right to use the mark, and infringement arises if another mark is identical or so nearly resembles it as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion. Once deceptive similarity between "RUSTAM" and "RUSTON" had been found, the addition of "INDIA" could not cure the infringement by adding matter outside the mark itself. The appellant was therefore entitled to injunctive relief, nominal damages, and delivery up of infringing materials. en-us Tue, 09 Sep 1969 00:00:00 +0530 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 20:43:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=160571 Registered trade mark infringement was found where the respondent used "RUSTAM" and the composite expression "RUSTAM INDIA" for goods covered by the appellant's mark "RUSTON".
