Dispute Summary
The Tea Board of India sued ITC Limited, alleging infringement of its 'Darjeeling' geographical indication and certification trademarks due to ITC naming a section of its hotel as the 'Darjeeling Lounge'. The Tea Board claimed passing off and dilution of the 'Darjeeling' brand, while ITC argued the use was permissible and didn’t mislead consumers.
Outcome / Ruling
The Calcutta High Court dismissed GA No. 3137 of 2010 without costs, rejecting the Tea Board's claim against ITC.
