Calcutta High Court grants injunction in Captain Gogo trademark suit

The Calcutta High Court has granted an injunction to Moondust Paper Pvt Ltd, the owner of the “Captain Gogo” trademark, in a suit alleging infringement by various entities. 

Justice Ravi Kishan Kapur found that the defendants’ products closely resemble the petitioner’s offerings, are sold through the same trade channels, and even mimic the petitioner’s copyright-protected packaging, leading to a strong likelihood of public confusion and deception.

The court held that the petitioner established a prima facie case of trademark infringement, copyright violation, and passing off. Respondents failed to appear, prompting this ex parte decision.
