Dispute Summary
The Intellectual Property Attorneys Association (IPAA) approached the Delhi High Court seeking directions to suspend limitation periods under the Trade Marks Act, citing severe disruptions in accessing the Trademark Registry's online portal.

The Court acknowledged the urgency of the matter, directing the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks (CGPDTM) to appear on the next date to provide detailed solutions and status updates regarding the systemic failures.
