Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court addressed a dispute over the exclusive right to use the surname 'Goenka' as a trademark in educational institutions. The court ultimately allowed the appeal filed by the appellant (Goenka Institute), vacating the injunction granted by the Single Judge. While acknowledging the respondents' registered trademark, the court found prima facie grounds for the appellant's continued use of the name, emphasizing that prior use and lack of deceptive similarity were key factors. This decision allows the parties to proceed with a full trial on the merits.
