Dispute Summary
The Kerala High Court allowed the appeal filed by Delmon Diagnostics & Research Centre against a lower court's decision in a passing off suit. While acknowledging that the letters 'DDRC' were used by the plaintiff in their email address and office name prior to the defendant's use, the court held that mere usage in an email or building name does not automatically establish sufficient reputation for the trade mark. Consequently, the High Court set aside the lower court's judgment and directed a retrial to allow both parties to present further evidence.
