Dispute Summary
This case involved Microsoft Corporation, the owner of copyrighted computer software and registered trademarks, suing various computer training institutes for using pirated software. After initial injunctions were granted, the parties reached an amicable settlement which included undertakings by the respondents to cease infringement and legalize their software use. The subsequent petitions filed before the court sought contempt action based on alleged breaches of these undertakings. However, the Delhi High Court dismissed the petitions, ruling that since the undertaking was given only to the plaintiffs (the opposing party) and not directly to the court, it did not constitute a breach actionable under contempt jurisdiction.
