In 1988, the plaintiff adopted and started using trademark\/punch line\/tagline\/ literary work \u2018<b>PEHLE ISTEMAL KAREN PHIR VISHWAS KAREN<\/b>\u2019 on its said goods and business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The grievance of the plaintiff is that the that defendant is engaged in the business of manufacturing, trading, procuring, supplying, distributions, import and export of all kinds of Jewelry and other allied and cognate goods &amp; services and has started using the trademark\/labels\/punch line\/tagline\/ literary work \u2018<b>PEHLE CHECK KAREN PHIR VISHWAS KAREN<\/b>\u2019 in relation to its impugned goods and business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that mark of the plaintiff is well established and on account of wide publicity of trademark, the tagline is identified with the goods coming from the house of plaintiff and it has acquired distinctiveness on account of long user and extensive publicity through celebrities \/ film stars like Mr. Amitabh Bachan and Nagarjun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">On the contention by the defendant that that trademark \/tagline of the plaintiff is descriptive in nature and therefore it cannot be Protected, the Court noted that It does not lie in the mouth of the defendant as defendant has himself applied for registration of the same type of mark which according to them are descriptive and therefore, they cannot take advantage of the descriptive Mark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">On the contention by the defendant that adoption of tagline is not identical as their taglines means \u2018first check and then trust\u2019 whereas tagline of the plaintiff means \u2018first use and then trust\u2019, the Court observed that if one reads in Hindi, it will immediately remind \/ attract his attention to the tagline of the plaintiff and mere change of one word does not in any manner show that tagline\/mark is different.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court remarked that the tag line \u2018PEHLE CHECK KAREN PHIR VISHWAS KAREN\u2019 is identical and deceptively similar to tag line \u2018PEHLE ISTEMAL KAREN PHIR VISHWAS KAREN\u2019 which is likely to cause confusion amongst the purchasing public and trader that goods under the trademark are also coming from the house of the plaintiff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court held that a prima facie case of infringement of trademark, copyright and passing off is made out in favour of the plaintiff and balance of convenience is also lying in its favour as well as irreparable loss in terms of goodwill would be caused to the plaintiff if no interim injunction is passed in its favour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">RSPL Limited v.
