Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court dismissed an appeal challenging the Intellectual Property Appellate Board's decision to uphold a trademark registration. The core dispute revolved around allegations of fraud and non-use concerning the 'SAFARI' trademark, used for cycles since 1974. The court affirmed that the respondent had continuously used the mark, either through his proprietorship or later via a family-controlled private limited company. Furthermore, the court emphasized that claims of fraud must be specifically pleaded and supported by cogent evidence, which was lacking in this case.
