Executive Summary
The Delhi High Court addressed ongoing trademark infringement issues concerning Montblanc's brand. While the court previously extended an interim injunction to prevent the use of a newly identified fraudulent domain, it ultimately de-reserved the final judgments in the core suit. This indicates that while immediate injunctive relief is maintained against new infringers, the matter will proceed towards a full trial to determine damages and resolve the main claims.
