CS(OS) 3775/2014 and IA No.24580/2014 (O.XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 CPC)

  • 1.    This suit for permanent injunction, restraining infringement of rights in eight registered patents, damages, rendition of accounts, delivery up, etc. has been filed by the Plaintiff against the Defendants.

  • 2.    Learned senior counsel for the Plaintiff states that the Plaintiff is the registered owner of the eight patents, i.e. IN203034, IN203036, IN234157, IN203686, IN213723 (AMR patents), IN229632, IN240471 (3G patents) and IN241747 (Edge Patent). The suit relates to the three technologies in the field of telecommunication pertaining to 2G and 3G devices.

  • 3.    As per the averments made in the plaint, the Plaintiff had previously invited Defendant no.1 to use Plaintiff?s ownership of Standard Essential Patents qua GSM∕GPRS∕EDGE∕WCDMA technology. The Plaintiff specifically requested Defendant no.1 to obtain a licence qua the PlaintiffPs Standard Essential Patents, but inspite of this, instead of obtaining licence, Defendant no.1 launched its infringing devices in India in July, 2014. It is urged by the learned senior counsel that in fact Defendant no.1 expanded its operations by setting up an Indian Subsidiary (Defendant no.2) and thus, the Defendants have become liable to pay damages, rendition of accounts, delivery up and other reliefs and the Plaintiff is entitled to an injunction to protect its rights.

  • 4.    It is urged by the learned senior counsel that Defendant no.1 has entered into an exclusive arrangement with Defendant no.3 which is an ecommerce company that sells and markets Defendant no.IPs infringing devises/handsets in India including within the jurisdiction of this Court.

  • 5.    Learned senior counsel for the Plaintiff has referred to the injunction order passed in IA No.16750/2013 in CS(OS) No.2010/2013 and Division Bench judgment of this Court in Telefonaktiebolagert LM Ericcson Torshamnsgatan v. Union of India, MIPR 2012 (2) 345 as well as order dated 29.01.2013 passed in Telefonaktiebolgaet LM v. Kingtech Electronics (India), CS(OS) No.68/2012 where the PlaintiffPs patents were protected.

  • 6.    I am satisfied that the Plaintiff has made out a prima facie case for grant of ad interim injunction in its favour. The balance of convenience also lies in favour of the Plaintiff and in the absence of an injunction order, the Plaintiff will suffer irreparable loss and injury.

  • 7.    Issue summons of the suit and notice of the application to the Defendants by ordinary process, registered AD cover, speed post as well as through approved courier service, on steps to be taken within one week, returnable before the Joint Registrar on 05.02.2015.
