⚖️ Legal Learning Shri Ganpati Jurists – Trademark Infringement & Interim Injunctions
🔹 The Supreme Court has clarified the criteria for granting interim injunctions in trademark infringement cases under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
Courts must evaluate multiple interrelated factors before granting relief.
✅ Key Criteria Applied by Courts:
1️⃣ Serious Question to be Tried – Plaintiff must show a genuine, substantial issue fit for trial.
2️⃣ Likelihood of Confusion / Deception – Whether consumers may be misled or confused.
3️⃣ Balance of Convenience – Comparative harm to plaintiff vs. defendant.
4️⃣ Irreparable Harm – Loss of goodwill or brand dilution cannot be compensated by damages alone.
5️⃣ Public Interest – Consumer protection and prevention of marketplace deception.
📌 Takeaway: Interim injunctions are not automatic. Courts balance all these factors together, and absence of even one may lead to refusal.
