Cipla Limited v.Union Of India Through Department Of Promotion Of Industry And Internal Trade & Anr
The Delhi High Court ruled in favor of Cipla Limited, directing the Trademark Registry to allow the renewal of its 'TRIEXER' trademark.

Bikaner Sweets Corner v.Balaji Corner & Ors.
The Delhi High Court granted an interim injunction in favor of Bikaner Sweets Corner against Balaji Corner & Ors.

Furthermore, the Defendants were immediately directed to cease using the impugned signboards and packaging within one week.
Hero Investcorp Pvt Ltd And Anr v.Ashok Kumar (John Doe)
The Delhi High Court granted interim relief to Hero Investcorp Pvt Ltd in its suit against an unidentified entity manufacturing and selling counterfeit two-wheeler spare parts.

The court recognized that the Plaintiff holds rights over its trademarks ('YATRI', 'YC'), copyrights, and design registrations related to electric vehicles.

Maschio Gaspardo S.P.A. v.Maschio Crop Protection Llp
The Delhi High Court granted an ex-parte ad-interim injunction in favor of Maschio Gaspardo S.P.A. against Maschio Crop Protection Llp, halting the latter's use of the 'MASCHIO' mark and similar variants.

Hero Investcorp Private Limited & Anr. v.M/S Limra Auto Connect
The Delhi High Court granted an ad-interim injunction in favor of Hero Investcorp Private Limited, affirming the strength of its trademark rights over 'HERO' across various products.

Furthermore, a Local Commissioner was appointed to conduct an inventory of alleged infringing goods, including packaging materials, ensuring the preservation of evidence in this ongoing intellectual property dispute.
Glaxo Group Limited v.Aubade Healthcare Private Limited
The Delhi High Court granted an ex-parte ad-interim injunction in favor of Glaxo Group Limited against Aubade Healthcare Private Limited regarding trademark infringement and passing off. The court found that the Plaintiff had made out a prima facie case, demonstrating a balance of convenience, and noting the likelihood of irreparable harm if the Defendants were not restrained from using similar marks to 'ZENTEL.' This interim order is crucial for protecting the Plaintiff's brand integrity while the main suit proceeds.
Western Digital Technologies Inc. v.M/S. Krystaa Infosystems Private Limited
The Delhi High Court granted an ex-parte ad-interim injunction in favor of Western Digital Technologies Inc. against M/S. Krystaa Infosystems Private Limited.

This interim relief prevents the defendant from further tampering with or commercially dealing in the branded products until the final hearing.
Bombay Dyeing And Manufacturing Company Limited v.John Doe & Ors.
The Delhi High Court allowed the Plaintiff, Bombay Dyeing, to implead two new entities, M/s Ooak Association and M/s Urban Stuff Retail, as defendants in a trademark infringement suit. The court found that these newly identified parties were organizers of an exhibition where counterfeit 'BOMBAY DYEING' bed linens were being sold. Furthermore, the Court granted exemption from advance service to several existing defendants, facilitating the continuation of the injunction proceedings against the infringing products.
Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers Union Ltd. v.The Registrar of Trade Marks & Anr.
The Delhi High Court allowed an appeal filed by Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers Union Ltd. against the dismissal of its trademark opposition. The court found that the original rejection was based on a factual error, as the Appellant had actually received the notice for filing evidence via email on September 15, 2024, not the date mentioned in the letter. Consequently, the High Court set aside the impugned order and directed the Registrar to hear and decide the opposition within two months, while also directing the registry to update the status of the trademark application.
Hilton Worldwide Manage Limited And Anr v.Hilton Holidays And Resorts Private Limited
The Delhi High Court granted an interim injunction in favor of Hilton Worldwide Manage Limited against Hilton Holidays And Resorts Private Limited.

Furthermore, the court exempted the plaintiffs from mandatory pre-litigation mediation due to the urgency of the matter.
Mebigo Labs Private Limited v.Greenhorn Wellness Private Limited & Ors.
The Delhi High Court granted an ad-interim ex-parte injunction in favor of Mebigo Labs Private Limited against Greenhorn Wellness Private Limited and others. The court found a prima facie case of copyright infringement, passing off, unfair competition, and trademark dilution by the defendant's use of similar branding ('Story TV'). Furthermore, the court directed Meta Platforms (Defendant No. 2) to suspend specific infringing advertisements on Facebook and Instagram, protecting Mebigo Labs' digital content platform 'KUKU FM'.
Red Bull Ag v.M/S Bhavnagari Herbal Pharmacy & Ors.

This decisive step allows the plaintiff to secure evidence of ongoing trademark misuse while the main suit proceeds.

Furthermore, Defendant No. 5 agreed to pay damages amounting to Rs. 1,00,000/-.
Hilton Worldwide Manage Limited And Anr v.M/S Hilton Cloud Resort
The Delhi High Court granted an interim injunction in favor of Hilton Worldwide Manage Limited against M/S Hilton Cloud Resort, finding a prima facie case of trademark infringement and passing off.

This urgent order restricts the Defendants from using or operating any website, social media pages, or promoting marks deceptively similar to 'ChiniMandi,' 'Bio Mandi,' and 'Bio Energy Times.'
Thumbtack Inc. v.Sangvish Technologies Pvt. Ltd. & Anr.
The Delhi High Court granted an ex-parte ad-interim injunction in favor of Thumbtack Inc. against Sangvish Technologies Pvt. Ltd., finding that the Defendant's mark 'THUMBSUP' is a deliberate and mala fide imitation of Thumbtack’s registered trademark, 'THUMBTACK.' The court noted the triple identity—identical mark, identical product category (home services), and identical consumer base—and restrained the Defendants from using any deceptively similar marks. This order sets the stage for the full trial on infringement.
Indmoney Tech Private Limited & Anr. v.Ashok Kumar And Ors
The Delhi High Court issued further directions in the trademark infringement suit filed by Indmoney Tech Private Limited. The court recognized that unknown entities were using the 'INDmoney/' trademarks across various digital platforms—including websites, WhatsApp, Telegram, and mobile apps—to defraud customers with fraudulent stock advice. The judgment specifically directed platform providers (like WhatsApp/Telegram operators) and financial institutions to take immediate action against the identified infringing accounts and bank details, reinforcing the court's stance on protecting brand integrity in the digital age.
Zenith Spray And Aerosols Pvt Ltd v.Urmila Goel Tin Works And Packaging
The Delhi High Court reinforced the existing injunction against Urmila Goel Tin Works and Packaging after finding that the defendant's packaging remained deceptively similar to the plaintiff's registered trade dress, despite changing its trademark. The court found that merely altering the brand name did not negate the infringement of the distinctive visual appearance (trade dress). Consequently, the Court appointed a Local Commissioner to conduct a search and seizure operation at the defendant's premises to prevent further violation of the original order.
Manash Lifestyle Private Limited & Anr. v.Eco Tech Recycling & Ors.
The Delhi High Court granted an ex-parte ad-interim injunction in favor of Manash Lifestyle Private Limited against Eco Tech Recycling & Ors. The court found that the plaintiffs had established a prima facie case, ruling that the defendants' actions—specifically reintroducing scrapped or disposed products into the market—posed grave harm to the reputation and goodwill associated with the plaintiff's registered trademarks (including PURPLLE) and copyrights. This protective order aims to safeguard consumer trust and prevent further unauthorized commercial activity related to the plaintiffs' intellectual property.
Ajp Impex Private Limited v.The Registrar Of Trademark Delhi & Anr.
The Delhi High Court granted an interim stay in favor of Ajp Impex Private Limited regarding a trademark dispute. Despite the respondent failing to appear or file a reply, the court upheld and made absolute the existing interim order from February 2025. This decision allows the petitioner to maintain protection against the impugned mark until the final resolution of the main petition.
Upgrad Education Private Limited v.Lavangiri Ansar Basha And Ors
The Delhi High Court granted an interim injunction in favor of Upgrad Education Private Limited against Lavangiri Ansar Basha and others.

Consequently, the defendant is restrained from further defamatory posts until the next hearing, while the plaintiff was directed to deposit a sum of Rs. 4 lakhs.
