Madras HC not to allow TVS to sell TVS Flame 125cc with twin spark plug engine

Two-wheeler major Bajaj Auto Ltd on Saturday succeeded in persuading the Madras High Court to restrain TVS Motor Company from launching the proposed 125-cc Flame motorcycle with the twin spark plug engine technology, which Bajaj claimed infringed a patent granted to it by the Patent Office.

“These are all matters involving complexity of trail and at this stage it is only the prima facie which can be taken into consideration,” the Judge said.

Equally, whether the third valve used by TVS Motors in its engine for the 125-cc Flame motorcycle did or did not have any material impact — Bajaj Auto alleged that it did not — can be decided only after a full-fledged trial, he ruled.

So TVS flame may come into sell without twin spark plug engine.
