Delhi HC: Prior declaration as “well-known trade mark” not mandatory to invoke Section 11(2); cancels “ZORA” trade mark for similarity with “ZARA”
Delhi High Court held that a trade mark need not be formally declared as “well-known” to claim protection under Section 11(2), Trade Marks Act, 1999, and that ZARA, being entitled to protection as a well-known mark, could oppose registration of the deceptively similar mark ZORA.
