Dispute Summary
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) sued The Institute of Cost Accountants of India for trademark infringement, alleging that the defendant's use of the acronym 'ICAI' created confusion among the public despite the defendant’s claim it adopted the acronym after a name change. Both institutes offer similar education and training services.
Outcome / Ruling
The Court dismissed the suit, finding that while there was an identical mark, the equities favored allowing the defendant to continue using 'ICAI', subject to maintaining accounts.
