Veekesy Rubber Industries Pvt Ltd. v.Kamal Bansal
The Delhi High Court allowed a rectification petition filed by Veekesy Rubber Industries Pvt Ltd. against Kamal Bansal, directing the removal of the registered trademark 'VKG'. The court found that 'VKG' was confusingly similar to the petitioner's prior and well-established mark 'VKC', which had been used since 1985 in respect of footwear. Crucially, the court noted that the respondent failed to demonstrate actual use of the impugned mark, leading it to conclude that the registration was obtained dishonestly to trade upon the petitioner's goodwill.
Raghuvar (India) Limited v.The Registrar of Trademarks
The Madras High Court dismissed the appeal filed by Raghuvar (India) Limited against the Registrar of Trademarks' decision regarding its opposition to the 'JAI HANUMAN' trademark. Although the appellant argued that their predecessor had prior, pan-India use and that a crucial assignment deed was ignored, the court ultimately found no infirmity in the original order. The rejection hinged on the lack of evidence demonstrating the appellant's actual use of the mark within South India, thereby upholding the Registrar's decision to restrict the scope of the new registration.
Heraeus Electronics GmbH & Co. KG, Heraeus Precious Metals GmbH & Co. KG v.Respondent
This procedural order from the Local Division Munich concerns two consolidated proceedings involving Heraeus Electronics and Heraeus Precious Metals as plaintiffs against Vibrantz GmbH regarding alleged infringement of European Patent No. 3 215 288 (a metal sintering preparation) in Germany, Italy, and France. The order addresses the correction of a prior order from December 2, 2024 regarding the replacement of the counter-defendant in the revocation counterclaim proceedings, and considers an application under Rule 362 of the Rules of Procedure concerning the German part of the patent. Vibrantz had raised objections regarding the timeliness and standing of the replacement request.
Hefei Xinhu Canned Motor Pump Co., Ltd. v.Respondent
This procedural order concerns the defendant's application under Rule 36 of the Rules of Procedure for leave to file a further pleading in a patent infringement action involving EP 2 778 423 B1. The defendant sought to introduce a January 6, 2025 decision of the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office, which fully invalidated the corresponding Chinese patent CN201480013981.1 based on the same prior art references. The Local Chamber Düsseldorf, through Presiding Judge Thomas acting as Rapporteur, denied the application, finding it was filed more than six weeks after the Chinese decision without justification, that the decision was submitted only in Chinese rather than the German procedural language, and that allowing late submission would prejudice both the court's and the plaintiff's preparation for the oral hearing scheduled for March 27, 2025.
