Case No. CS(OS) 472/2006 (2010)
- Written by Jody Stuart, JD
Facts
Skol Breweries (Skol) (plaintiff) owned the trademark Knock Out for Skol’s beer. The Knock Out brand for beer had been in existence since 1986. In 2004 Unisafe Technologies (Unisafe) (defendant) started using the trademark Knock Out for Unisafe’s self-defense pepper spray. Skol sued Unisafe in the Delhi High Court for trademark dilution. Unisafe stated that its use of the Knock Out mark was descriptive of the characteristic of Unisafe’s product. That is, the pepper spray was intended to knock out, or incapacitate, an attacker.
