Haryana Breweries Ltd. v.Govt. Of N.C.T. Of Delhi, Lt. Governor
Haryana Breweries Ltd. petitioned the Delhi High Court seeking a writ of mandamus to compel authorities to grant an L-1 license for wholesale beer vending for four brands, including Haywards Lager Beer and Haywards-2000 Extra Strong Beer. The respondents argued that the petitioner did not own the trade mark rights for these specific brands, which were registered in the name of Shaw Wallace & Co. Ltd.
M.K. Agarwal And Anr. v.Union Of India And Ors.
This Delhi High Court judgment addressed petitions challenging the registration of foreign newspaper titles as trademarks. The core issue revolved around whether existing registrations under the Press & Registration of Books Act, 1867, should prevent trademark registration by the Registrar of Trade Marks. The court ultimately dismissed the petitions, finding no merit in the petitioners' claims and questioning their locus standi to challenge government policy.
Scooters India Ltd. v.Java Hind Industries Ltd.
Scooters India Ltd. appealed a decision by the Deputy Controller of Patents and Designs Bombay which dismissed its opposition notice against a patent granted to Java Hind Industries Ltd. The core legal issue before the Delhi High Court was whether it had jurisdiction to hear this appeal, given that the original application and order were related to the Bombay Patent Office.
Ravinder Kumar Gupta v.Ravi Raj Gupta And Ors.
Ravinder Kumar Gupta filed a petition seeking cancellation of Design No. 150873, which was registered by Ravi Raj Gupta for glass tiles. The petitioner argued that the design lacked novelty and had been published prior to registration. The court examined whether the change from sharp corners to rounded corners constituted an original or inventive design.
K.G. Khosla Compressors Ltd. v.Khosla Extrakting Ltd. And Ors.
The plaintiff, K.G. Khosla Compressors Ltd., a pioneer in the air compressors industry, filed a suit against defendants for using the name 'M/s Khosla Extraktions Ltd.' The plaintiff argued that its name and family goodwill ('Khosla') are strongly associated with its group of companies in the capital market, and the defendant was attempting to cash on this reputation through deception.
Tobu Enterprises (P) Ltd. v.Joginder Metal Works And Anr.
The plaintiff sued for permanent injunction against infringement of two registered designs (mini bike tricycle) and for rendition of accounts.

The court held that it has jurisdiction and the suit is maintainable.
