Dispute Summary
Bayerische Motoren Werks Ag (BMW) sued Madan Walia for trademark infringement, alleging unauthorized use of the BMW mark on steel grills. The Delhi High Court had previously dismissed BMW's suit based on a prior IPAB judgment invalidating Walia’s trademark registration due to lack of distinctiveness and bona fide adoption. BMW appealed this decision.
Outcome / Ruling
The Delhi High Court set aside the trial court's earlier dismissal and decreed BMW’s suit, restraining Madan Walia from using the BMW trademark for steel grills.
