Joy Universal LtdvsRegistrar Of Trademarks
The Delhi High Court allowed the appeal filed by Joy Universal Ltd against the Registrar of Trademarks' refusal to register the word mark 'PRINCESS PAT'. The court found that the grounds for refusal, based on similarity to earlier marks under Section 11(1)(b) of the Trade Marks Act, were unsustainable. Crucially, the court noted that several cited conflicting marks had since been removed or refused registration, significantly changing the circumstances. Consequently, the application was directed to proceed, subject to a disclaimer ensuring no exclusive rights are granted in 'PRINCESS' or 'PAT' individually.
