Super Cassetts Industries Ltd. v.Music Broadcast Pvt. Ltd.
Super Cassetts Industries Ltd. appealed against the Delhi High Court's order which held that the Copyright Board could grant an interim compulsory licence under Section 31 of the Copyright Act, 1957. The Supreme Court examined whether such an interim power could be implied by law or if it required express statutory authorization.
M/S Godrej Sara Lee Limited v.Reckitt Benckiser Australia Pty.Ld.
The appeal challenged the Delhi High Court's decision regarding its jurisdiction to entertain appeals against orders passed by the Controller of Patents and Designs, Kolkata, which cancelled several registered designs for 'Insecticide Coil'. The Supreme Court held that since the cause of action arose in Kolkata (where the cancellation occurred), the Calcutta High Court, not the Delhi High Court, had the proper jurisdiction.
Bharat Glass Tube Limited v.Gopal Glass Works Limited
The appeal challenged the Calcutta High Court's order which had set aside the Assistant Controller's cancellation of Design No.190336 registration. The respondent (Gopal Glass Works Limited) claimed exclusive rights over its industrial design applied to glass sheets, marketed as Diamond Square. The appellant argued that the design was not new or original due to prior publication abroad.
