Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of trademark infringement concerning the registered trademarks 'Field Marshal' held by P.M. Diesels Ltd. under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The Court held that the appellants' use of the mark 'Marshal' constituted infringement, as it was likely to cause confusion among consumers. The Court upheld the validity of the respondent's trademark registrations and directed the appellants to cease using the infringing mark, thereby affirming the lower court's decision.
