The plaintiffs attempted to have the defendants cease and desist in advertising, marketing, offering for sale, selling and providing goods identical to the plaintiff’s goods in Canada with the trademarks and trade names AMUL and Amul Canada Limited through LinkedIn.
“The defendants are not only using the exact marks and designs belonging to the plaintiffs, but they are claiming to be the plaintiffs, through copying the information available on the AMUL websites regarding the Plaintiffs’ background and activities.”
The plaintiffs stated they had never licensed or provided consent to the defendant or its employees to use the trademarks in any manner.
The plaintiffs served relevant materials on the defendants and their employees to elicit their response albeit unsuccessfully.
They then moved an ‘ex-parte motion for default judgment’.
