Dispute Summary
This Calcutta High Court appeal addressed a challenge to the rectification of the 'TOSHIBA' trademark registration in Class 7. The core dispute centered on whether the respondent had the requisite locus standi to seek removal of the mark based on non-use, given that they had never manufactured or sold washing machines or spin dryers. While the court acknowledged issues regarding the application of Section 46(1)(a) versus other sections, it ultimately dismissed the appeal after the respondent conceded that the rectification should be limited only to the two specific goods in question.
