Dispute Summary
This Delhi High Court judgment addresses an appeal challenging the refusal to register the trade mark 'MLI' for sewing machine parts. The court examined whether the applicant could secure protection under Section 12(3) based on honest concurrent use, despite the existence of a prior registered mark 'ML' held by the respondents. Ultimately, the court dismissed the appeal, finding that the appellant failed to provide sufficient documentary evidence regarding sales and advertising expenditure before the opposition was filed, thereby negating claims of acquiescence or estoppel.
