Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court allowed appeals filed by Kei Industries Limited against the Registrar of Trade Marks' refusal to register its trademark 'KEI' in Class 11. The court found that the Registrar failed to consider the Appellant's claim under Section 12 of the Act, which allows registration despite similarity if there are 'special circumstances,' such as prior use. Consequently, the matter was remanded back to the Respondent for a fresh consideration based on this crucial legal provision.
