The distinctive colour scheme, blue and red colour combination with a white cap, bold font, as also the placement of the various features, has been copied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that on 30-11-2022, Defendant 2, had assured that the customs department would not allow the import of the impugned goods found in the impugned container. Defendant 2 while the hearing of the present suit submitted that the import of the contents of the said container into India, has not been permitted by the custom authorities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that the import of goods which violate Intellectual Property Rights is governed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000411651\">Intellectual Property Rights (Imported Goods) Enforcement Rules, 2007<\/a> (hereinafter &#8220;IPR Rules&#8221;). As per the said rules, import of any counterfeit products or products which violate IP rights of trademark owners, copyright owners, etc., is not permissible. The customs authorities have to, upon a complaint received from any IP owner, or on its own accord, form an opinion qua the infringement of the IP rights. Upon forming an opinion, the import or sale of products which violate the rights of IP owners including trademark, copyright, etc., would have to be stopped by the customs authorities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court held that in view of the import had been stopped by the customs authorities, the injunction is also not required to be passed, but the Plaintiffs are free to take action in accordance with law, either in India, or in other foreign jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Colgate Palmolive Company v.
