Dispute Summary
The Madras High Court allowed an appeal challenging the rejection of the 'BRAHMABREWS' trademark application, which had been denied by the Examiner on grounds that the word 'Brahma' might hurt religious sentiments. The court held that rejecting applications at a preliminary stage based on subjective religious perception is inappropriate. Instead of outright denial, the matter was remanded back to the Trade Mark Registry for fresh consideration.
