Dispute Summary
The Calcutta High Court dismissed Singer Manufacturing Co.'s appeal against the limitation placed on the trademark 'Sagar'. The court upheld the initial ruling that due to 'Sagar' being a proper name (surname), its registration was limited to specific goods ('sewing machines sold complete') unless distinctiveness could be proven. The judgment emphasized strict adherence to procedural fairness, noting that appeals cannot raise issues not previously argued before the lower authority.
