Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court dismissed an appeal filed by Kewal Krishan Kumar against the registration of the trademark 'Shiv Shakti' by Rudi Roller Flour Mills. The court found that despite some phonetic similarity, the composite nature of the respondent's mark—including the device of Trishul and Damru—created a sufficient visual and phonetic difference from the petitioner's 'Shakti Bhog'. Furthermore, the court ruled that Section 12(3) (concurrent user provision) was not applicable because the trademarks were not identical.
