Suit Against Passing Off Maintainable Even If Plaintiff And Defendant Have Identical Registered Trademarks: Rajasthan High Court

In a recent ruling, the Rajasthan High Court addressed trademark infringement and passing off where identical marks were used in different classes of goods. The court held that even if the marks are identical, infringement can occur if there is a likelihood of confusion among consumers, leading to passing off. The decision emphasized the importance of protecting trademarks regardless of the goods' classes they represent, underlining the broader application of trademark laws in preventing consumer confusion and unfair competition.
