    Summary The Bombay High Court granted an interim injunction in favor of Sun Pharma Laboratories Limited against Zawadi Healthcare Limited for trademark infringement. The court found that the defendant's mark "PANTOZED-40" is deceptively similar to the plaintiff's registered trademark "PANTOCID" (both derived from the drug molecule PANTOPRAZOLE), noting phonetic similarity between the suffixes "CID" and "ZED," and established prior use by the plaintiff since 1998. However, the court denied interim relief on the passing-off claim, finding insufficient evidence of misrepresentation affecting the plaintiff's Indian market. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
