Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that the appellant, who claimed prior use of the trademarks UNIPLY and UNIBOARD, was entitled to a permanent injunction against the respondents who were found to have copied these trademarks. The Court emphasized the importance of establishing prior use in trademark disputes, referencing the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The Court held that the evidence presented by the appellant demonstrated superior rights to the trademarks, thus granting the injunction and protecting the appellant's business interests.
