The court held that the defendant’s mark is deceptively similar to the plaintiff’s “Tumorin” trademark. Concerning the contention of the defendant that the plaintiff’s trademark should not have been registered in the first place, the court held that Section 31(1) provides for a presumption of validity of a registered trademark and thus dismissed this argument in the context of determining the question of infringement. The court clarified that the above issue may be relevant in determining the relief.
The Delhi High Court issued a summon to the defendant, a co-founder of the plaintiff’s company for using an allegedly identical “Brine” mark.

Consequently, the court decreed the suit in favor of the plaintiff and directed the defendants to pay costs of INR 1 lakh to the plaintiff.

The suit pertains to the defendant’s use of “Fly Higher” phrase. The plaintiff had alleged that the term “Fly Higher” infringes its “Fly High” mark. However, earlier the court had clarified that the defendant’s use of the term was not as a trademark but as a descriptive term. After the earlier order, the parties made a proposal wherein they agreed that the defendant wouldn’t file a trademark application for the term “Fly Higher” and the plaintiff shall not intervene in the use of the term as a keyword, in advertising or as a hashtag. The court held that the parties will be bound by the above terms and disposed of the suit.

After the conclusion of the trial, the court granted a permanent injunction to the plaintiff, holding the competing marks and packing to be deceptively similar and imposed INR 3 lakhs on the defendant relying on two factors- a) Profit earned by the infringing party, and b) Duration of income, as under Rule 20 of the IPD Rules.
Nif Private Limited vs Registrar Of Trade Marks on 5 December, 2023 (Delhi High Court)
The present appeal was filed against the orders of the respondent rejecting its trademark application. The impugned orders rejected the applications without any reason and directed the appellant to ask for reasons separately, under Rule 36. The court observed that Rule 36(1) violated due procedure and should be open to challenge. Regarding the impugned orders, the court held that though the orders state that the applications were rejected based on section 9(1)(a) and 9(1)(b), reasons behind the applicability of the said provisions was not given therein. Thus the court set aside the impugned order and directed to hear the matter afresh.
Indarmal M Solanki vs Rakesh Gupta And Anr on 1 December, 2023 (Delhi High Court)

The court held that the respondent’s mark was identical to the petitioner’s mark and since they target the same consumer base and are identical goods, the registration granted to the respondent would cause public confusion and thus directed for its removal/ cancellation.
