The Court agreed with the petitioner's stance, directing that the District Judge-12, Nagpur, shall not proceed with Trademark Suit No.3 of 2023 in the interim.

Saint Gobain Glass France appealed the refusal of its patent application (No. 201717045317), titled 'Material comprising a stack of thin layers', by the Assistant Controller of Patents and Designs.

K Arjun Singh And Others v.Gm Modular Pvt. Ltd.
The Delhi High Court allowed the appeal, setting aside an adverse interim injunction that had been granted against the appellants' registered trademarks.
