Hiralal Banjara And Anr. v.Union Of India (Uoi) And Anr.
The petitioner sought a writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to extend the term of their patent or grant a new one, arguing that successive applications for extension were permissible. The court held that based on the scheme of the Act, only one application for extension is contemplated, and once an extension is granted, the power for granting further extensions is exhausted.
The Kohinoor Mills Co. Ltd. v.Vijay Bharat Thread Mills (India)
The petitioner, proprietor of the 'Sadhu' trade mark for yarn and thread, filed a petition seeking cancellation of the respondents' 'Sanyasi' design registration (No. D 82466). The core issues were the court's jurisdiction and whether the design was new or original. The Court ultimately cancelled the design registration.
The Anglo French Drug Co., (Eastern) v.R.D. Tinaikar
This appeal challenged the decision of the Deputy Registrar of Trade Marks who held that a Registered Trade Marks Agent was entitled to be heard during opposition proceedings for trade mark registration. The petitioners argued that an agent could only 'act,' but not 'plead' before the Registrar, citing provisions of the Bombay Pleaders Act. The High Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the Deputy Registrar's finding.
