Dispute Summary
Indcon Structurals Pvt.Ltd filed a civil suit against Ultra Tiles Pvt. Ltd., alleging infringement and passing off concerning their distinctive 'CATHERINE' tile drawing. The plaintiff claimed ownership over the unique design, which was allegedly copied by the defendant's 'OPUS' tiles. However, the Madras High Court dismissed the suit, holding that since the design was not registered under the Designs Act, the claim for copyright infringement was not maintainable under Section 15(2) of the Copyright Act.
