Dispute Summary
The Madras High Court set aside an earlier rejection of a German company's trademark application for 'BEST SPORTING'. The court recognized that the mark was a composite device mark and should be examined as a whole. Crucially, the appellant agreed to accept limitations preventing exclusive rights over the individual words 'BEST' or 'SPORTING', allowing the registration process to move forward.
