Dispute Summary
The Madras High Court allowed an appeal filed by M/S. The Southern India Exporting Company against a prior rejection by the Trade Marks Registry. The court ruled that despite superficial differences, the marks 'Eagle' and 'Garuda' are deceptively similar in the context of fireworks, given their shared meaning (eagle) and the likelihood of customer confusion. Furthermore, the High Court struck down the Registrar's finding that the appellant was barred from opposing due to prior inaction.
