Dispute Summary
The Bombay High Court addressed an appeal filed by Bengaluru ISKCON challenging a previous court order that declared the mark 'ISKCON' to be well-known. The Court clarified that while the original plaintiff (Mumbai ISKCON) successfully established the mark's widespread reputation, this finding does not automatically grant them sole or exclusive proprietorship. The matter of who is entitled to use the mark remains open for determination by appropriate forums, such as the Registrar of Trademarks.
