Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the trademark 'Glucon-D' registered under The Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958, specifically Sections 29 and 106. The Court held that the term 'Glucose' is generic and does not infringe upon the registered trademark 'Glucon-D', affirming the lower courts' decisions that found no deceptive similarity in the packaging. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the trial court's rejection of the ad-interim injunction application.
