We are excited to bring you the latest edition of our newsletter, featuring key updates from the ever-evolving field of Intellectual Property (IP). This quarter has seen significant developments in judicial decisions, patent grants, and policy changes, all of which are shaping the future of IP protection.
Courts across the country have continued to uphold the rights of brand owners, as evidenced by prominent cases such as the dispute around Indian Hotels Company Limited’s trade mark ‘Taj’ and the trade mark 'Boroline' being declared as a well-known. Another notable highlight is Louis Vuitton being awarded costs amounting to INR 5,00,000 for copyright infringement, accenting the intellectual property rights in advertisement material available on the internet. Another impactful decision from the Delhi High Court was passed in a longstanding trade mark dispute between Lacoste and Crocodile International over the use of the crocodile logo. In response to the growing impact of Artificial Intelligence across various sectors, the Bombay High Court took steps to protect the personality rights of renowned singer Arijit Singh against unauthorized use by AI platforms.

Thank you for your continued readership, and we hope you find this newsletter, both, insightful and enjoyable.
