Cello Pens Pvt.

It noted that though the design of the crayons was in the public domain, the arrangement of elements of shape, aesthetics and finish by Cello were more than merely coincidental. With regard to the high possibility of buyers being confused between the competing products and the continuing loss to Faber-Castell, Cello was restrained from manufacturing or selling the infringing products.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : M/s.
