Dilip Kumar Jain v. The Registrar of Trademarks

The British School SocietyvsSanjay Gandhi Educational Society & Anr.

The Delhi High Court ruled in favor of The British School Society, confirming an existing interim injunction against the Sanjay Gandhi Educational Society. The court found that the unauthorized and continuous use of the identical mark 'The British School' by the Defendants constituted misrepresentation and caused irreparable prejudice to the Plaintiff's goodwill. Consequently, the Defendants were mandated to change their school names effective May 1, 2022, ensuring a smooth transition for enrolled students.

P.G.Purushan (A) P.G PurushanvsThe Registrar of Trademarks

The Madras High Court allowed an appeal filed by P.G. Purushan against the Trademark Registry's decision to reject their trademark application, 'STIMULAID.' The core issue was whether the applicant had abandoned the mark after failing to comply with initial examination report directions. The Court found that since the appellant had submitted Form TM-M and attended subsequent hearings, there was no evidence of abandonment. Consequently, the rejection order was set aside, compelling the Registrar to proceed with considering and potentially accepting the application.

In this trademark dispute, the Calcutta High Court issued an interim direction requiring the respondents to modify the get-up and trade dress of their product, 'Pearl Eyeflax Kum Kum Bindi.' The respondents were mandated to forward copies of these proposed changes to the petitioner's advocates by March 13, 2025. This order allows both parties time to adjust the disputed branding while keeping the litigation moving toward a resolution.

Pfizer Products Inc.vsSanjay Rungta T/As M/S Bonsai Pharma

The Gujarat High Court directed the removal of the trademark 'TERCOREX' from the official registry website. The court noted that the trademark was likely to be removed due to non-filing of a renewal request within the prescribed time limit, citing precedents from other high courts. This order effectively cleared the mark from public record, allowing the petitioner liberty to file again should the mark eventually be renewed.

Hero Electric Vehicles Private Limited & Anr.vsMr. Aman Kumar & Ors.

The Delhi High Court addressed an interim application in a trademark infringement suit brought by the Hero Group against various defendants. The court upheld the previous injunction granted on June 1, 2022, which protected the Plaintiffs' trademarks ('Hero Electric', 'Hero') and related intellectual property. Specifically, the existing orders directing the disclosure of details for infringing domain names (like www.elctricbikedelearship.com) and freezing associated bank accounts were maintained throughout the pendency of the suit.
