Delhi HC Grants Permanent Injunction to Eureka Forbes in Aquaguard Trademark Infringement Case

The Delhi High Court has granted a permanent injunction to Eureka Forbes Limited, the owner of the 'Aquaguard' trademark, against a manufacturer producing counterfeit spare parts for water purifiers.

Eureka Forbes adopted the 'Aquaguard' mark in 1982 and registered it in 1992. The company discovered fake spare parts bearing their trademark in Bihar and Delhi.

Following an earlier injunction and seizure of these counterfeit products, Justice Amit Bansal ruled in favor of Eureka Forbes, citing deceptive similarity and unfair advantage taken by the defendant.

The court found trademark infringement, copyright violation, and passing off, ordering the defendant to pay ₹2 lakh in damages and costs.
