Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court dismissed U.V. Enterprises' writ petition challenging the Intellectual Property Appellate Board's decision to reject its trademark registration application for 'Taj.' The core dispute centered on whether the petitioner could prove prior use of the mark in exporting Basmati rice from India to Australia. The court upheld the IPAB's finding that the petitioner failed to discharge the burden of proving prior user, emphasizing that writ jurisdiction is limited and cannot re-examine factual findings made by tribunals unless there is a jurisdictional error or breach of natural justice.
