Dispute Summary
Bennett, Coleman & Company Limited (Times Group) sued Seraphic Divine Beauty Private Limited for trademark infringement, alleging that the defendants' use of 'Divine Miss India' in a beauty pageant and website www.divinemissindia.com infringed upon the plaintiffs’ registered trademark ‘Miss India,’ which has been used since 1964. The plaintiffs claimed dilution and unfair competition due to the deceptive similarity between the marks.
Outcome / Ruling
The Court allowed an application for exemption, registered the plaint as a suit, issued summons to the defendants, and restrained them from organizing events or operating websites using 'Divine Miss India' or any deceptively similar mark, ordering deletion of the domain www.divinemissindia.com within one week.
