SC rejects plea by ‘blenders pride’ against ‘london pride’
The Supreme Court dismissed an appeal of Pernod Ricard India Private Limited which alleged trademark infringement by whiskey brand ‘London Pride’ against ‘Blenders Pride’. It observed that the consumers are likely to exercise greater care in their purchase decisions. It said that the marks are clearly not identical and, the branding, packaging, and trade dress of each are materially distinct.
