Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court ruled in favor of Conopco Inc., setting aside the Deputy Registrar's decision to register the trade mark 'PONAS'. The court found that 'PONAS' was deceptively similar to Conopco's registered trade mark 'Pond's', leading to a likelihood of public confusion and passing off. Crucially, the High Court noted that the lower authority erred by ignoring the petitioner's evidence, which had been duly taken on record.
