Deceptive Similarity: ‘NOVIETS’ vs ‘NOVARTIS’ | Interim Injunction Upheld, Appellate Interference Limited : Delhi HC
The Division Bench affirmed the Single Judge’s finding that ‘NOVIETS’ is deceptively similar to the well-known mark ‘NOVARTIS’, considering visual and phonetic resemblance in the pharmaceutical sector. The court reiterated that appellate interference with interim injunctions is warranted only where the order is perverse or ignores settled principles, dismissing the appeal filed by Noviets Pharma.
