Disys India Private Limited v.The Registrar of Trademarks
The Madras High Court set aside an earlier refusal by the Registrar of Trademarks to grant registration for the mark 'DISYS'. The appeal argued that the refusal, based solely on phonetic similarity to another mark ('DISYSO'), failed to consider evidence of the appellant's long-standing use and acquired distinctiveness. The court found the original order was a non-speaking order, necessitating a remand back to the Registrar for fresh consideration of the application on its merits.
Super Smelters Ltd. v.Rekha Tayal &Anr.
The Calcutta High Court ruled in favor of Super Smelters Ltd., a leading manufacturer of TMT Bars, in its application to rectify a trademark registration. The court found that the respondent's mark was deceptively identical and phonetically similar to the petitioner's established 'SUPER SHAKTI' brand. Crucially, the court noted a glaring error by the registrar who failed to consider the petitioner's prior registrations during the examination process. Consequently, the High Court ordered the cancellation of the impugned registration, affirming the petitioner's strong prima facie case and preventing consumer confusion.
Innovative Health Care v.Innovative Healthcare (India) Pvt. Ltd.

Ltd. from using a deceptively similar trademark for medicinal preparations. The court decided to close the current application while granting the applicant full liberty to raise all its contentions in the main suit. This procedural step moves the dispute forward into the substantive litigation phase.
