Diwan Advocates: Safeguarding the Interest of Clients with Innovative Solutions

CIO Vendor Afew years ago, a famous case of trademark infringement was appealed to the Delhi High Court by Karim’s, a historical restaurant situated near Old Delhi’s Jama Masjid. The case was popularly known as a ‘Spicy trademark dispute’ whereby the plaintiff i.e., the Karim’s filed a suit for permanent injunction to restrain the defendant from using the trademark ‘KARIM’S’ or any other mark identical with or deceptively similar to its registered trademarks including KARIM MUGHLAI CUISINE. The defendant argued that the plaintiff was not the owner of the trademark and moreover, the trademark of the brand was transferred to Karim’s Moghlai Trust by the owner with his will under the terms that the right to use was only provided if transferee paid royalty to the trust. Thus, Diwan Advocates after looking at the matter helped the Karim’s out to gain interim relief and concluded the case on the note that the restaurants with the name KARIM’S/ KARIM were paying royalty to the plaintiff & the Trust was not receiving any royalty from any individual, traders or business entity.
