Dispute Summary
The Punjab-Haryana High Court allowed Surbhi Tangri's appeal, setting aside a lower court order that had dismissed her application for an injunction. The court found that the defendant's use of 'DECORALLEY' was deceptively similar to the petitioner's registered trademark, 'The Décor Alley'. Despite arguments regarding different mark types (word vs. device) and business models, the High Court emphasized the common law principle of passing off, ruling that a common man would be deceived by the similarity.
