Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court granted an ex parte injunction in favor of Living Media India Limited, confirming that its news program name and logo, "AAJ TAK," is a protectable trademark under passing off law. The court ruled that even if individual words are descriptive or dictionary terms, their combination acquires distinctiveness through continuous use and widespread reputation. Furthermore, the judgment established that national goodwill extends beyond local geographical boundaries, preventing competitors from trading on the plaintiff's established reputation.
