Dispute Summary
Karim Hotels Pvt. Ltd. successfully appealed a trademark rejection by The Registrar of Trademarks in the Delhi High Court. The court overturned the Senior Examiner's decision, which had cited lack of distinctiveness and descriptive nature. Recognizing the extensive goodwill and long-standing use of the 'KARIM/KARIM'S' mark since 1913, the court allowed the application to proceed for registration, subject only to association with existing registrations regarding specific descriptive terms.
