Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court dismissed the suit filed by Chronicle Publications, which sought to restrain Chronicle Academy from using the trademark 'CHRONICLE' for coaching services. The court held that while a descriptive mark can gain protection through secondary meaning, the plaintiff failed to provide sufficient evidence demonstrating consumer confusion or distinctiveness. Ultimately, the court found that the word 'CHRONICLE' is common and descriptive, and the plaintiff could not prove its exclusive association with their services.
