Delhi High Court Restrains Biodeal Pharma’s “PEPFIX-DSR” and “MINOZIL” in Sun Pharma Trademark Case

The Delhi High Court permanently restrained Biodeal Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. from using “PEPFIX-DSR” and “MINOZIL,” finding them visually and phonetically similar to Sun Pharma’s registered trademarks “PEPFIZ” and “MINOZ.”

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. sought summary judgment in a trademark infringement and passing-off suit after an earlier 2022 injunction.

The Court noted Biodeal did not appear or contest despite service and had not filed a written statement. It held that the marks fall under triple identity, implying identical product category and trade channels, and recorded that 19,000 infringing products were seized earlier by local commissioners.

The suit was decreed and costs awarded in favour of Sun Pharma.
