Dispute Summary
The Supreme Court dismissed a Special Leave Petition filed by Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd. concerning its trademark registration in Class 42 against Kamat Hotels (India) Ltd. The dispute centered on who was the prior user of the 'Royal Orchid' mark. Despite arguments regarding previous litigation, the Court found that the High Court's detailed consideration of evidence—which concluded that the petitioner had not demonstrated first use and that confusion was possible due to similarity—was reasonable and justified. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision.
