Ds Intellectual Properties Llp & Anr v.Ashutosh Kumar Singh & Ors.
The Delhi High Court granted an ex parte interim injunction in favor of Ds Intellectual Properties Llp against Ashutosh Kumar Singh and others. The plaintiffs, owners of the 'Rajnigandha' trademark and associated copyrights, alleged that defendants were using a deceptive website ('www.rajnigandhadealership.online') to lure the public into fake distributorships under their brand name. Consequently, the court restrained the defendants from using the trademarks or the domain name and directed the domain registrar and bank to take immediate action.
Exhibitions India Pvt Ltd v.The Registrar Of Trade Marks
The Delhi High Court allowed the appeal filed by Exhibitions India Pvt Ltd against the Registrar of Trade Marks' refusal to register the 'SMART CITIES INDIA' device mark. The court found that the mark was not merely descriptive or generic, especially given the Appellant's extensive history of using it for organizing exhibitions since 2015. Furthermore, the court determined that the mark was not deceptively similar to conflicting marks cited by the Examiner. Consequently, the refusal order was set aside, and the Trademark Registry was directed to process the registration.
