The mark, colour combination, placement of material etc. of the label as adopted and used by the Defendants is very deceptively similar to that of the Plaintiff's mark/label. The Defendants have no justification for such adoption and use of the mark & label and the act of the Defendants are bound to lead to confusion and deception amongst the purchasing public and the trade.
Resultantly the Defendants were restrained from using the Trademark/Colour Combination/Trade Dress HEMOORANGE in relation to medicinal and pharmaceuticals products falling in class 05.
