Kairaba took the matter to court arguing that such a name is very close to its own \u2018Dyclosa\u2019 for the same drug.<\/b><\/p>\n

Kairaba Pharmaceuticals is therefore seeking the High Court to stop City Pharmacy and the Registrar General from registering the trademark of the said painkiller tablets as \u2018Diclosa\u2019.<\/p>\n

At Thursday\u2019s sitting, a representative of Kairaba Pharmaceuticals appeared before the court presided over by Justice Ebrima Jaiteh and adopted his witness affidavit statement and was cross-examined by defence counsel for City Pharmacy after which the case was adjourned to the 6t December for further cross-examination.<\/p>\n
