Intellectual Property Appellate Board; The Asst. Registrar of Trade Marks
Dispute Summary
The Madras High Court allowed the writ petition, setting aside the IPAB's order that had previously refused the petitioner's trade mark registration application. The court found that the Trade Mark Registry failed to apply established tests for deceptive similarity, relying instead on principles typically used in passing-off actions. Consequently, the matter was remitted back to the Registrar for fresh consideration, ensuring a reasoned decision is provided.
