Dispute Summary
In this writ petition, M/S Ma Trading Co challenged the inordinate delay by the Trademark Registry in processing its 'M MATCO' device mark application, which had been pending since 2018. Despite an opposition filed by Monster Energy Company, the Registrar failed to issue a hearing notice for seven years. The Kerala High Court found this statutory inaction unacceptable and directed the Registrar to expedite the process and finalize the decision within three months.
