Bombay High Court Grants Interim Relief to Vadilal Mumbai Branch in Trademark Dispute
The Bombay High Court granted interim relief to the Mumbai branch of Vadilal in a trademark dispute with the Ahmedabad branch, recognizing the Mumbai faction's prima facie rights to use the 'Vadilal' brand based on a 1993 family settlement. The court restrained the Ahmedabad faction from interfering with the Mumbai branch's manufacturing and sales of ice cream and juices across western and southern India until arbitration concludes. The Ahmedabad branch may challenge the order in a division bench.
