The Registrar of Trademarks, Trade Mark Registry Chennai
Dispute Summary
Orient Cement Limited successfully challenged the Registrar of Trademarks' decision to reject its English tagline, 'Mazbooti mein Al.' 'Bharose mein A1.', for trademark registration. The Madras High Court found the rejection arbitrary, noting that while other language versions were accepted, the English version was unfairly scrutinized under distinctiveness grounds (Section 9(1)(a) and (b)). The court ruled that content, not language, is what matters in assessing registrability.
