Delhi High Court: <\/strong>Sanjeev Narula, J. while addressing the matter of trademark infringement, opined that,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBesides, considering that parties are in the field of education, deliberate adoption by the Defendants of impugned trade marks and logo that are deceptively similar and\/or identical to the Plaintiff\u2019s registered trade marks\/names and logos can cause confusion in the minds of the parents, prospective students and staff desirous of securing admission or availing services, seeing the advertisements, promotional material, admission forms, boards\/ hoardings, etc.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Factual Matrix<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In the present matter, plaintiff filed the accompanying suit inter-alia <\/em>for infringement of copyright and registered trademark \u2018Delhi Public School\u2019 and \u2018DPS\u2019 and crest logo \"\"<\/p>\n

The above-stated logo was adopted in the year 1948 and later in 1996-97, Plaintiff-Society conceived and adopted another crest logo \"\"comprising of a torch on a book along with the school motto written inside a shield deice surrounded by creepers and the words \u2018Delhi Public School\u2019 written at the bottom with other distinctive artistic features comprised.<\/p>\n

It was claimed that both the crests were original artistic works and the plaintiff was the first owner of the same under the provisions of the Copyright Act.<\/p>\n

Plaintiff society received information that Defendant 1Delhi Public International School had been running a school under the name and style \u2013 \u2018Delhi Public International School\u2019 and \u2018DPIS\u2019 using the logo. \"\"<\/p>\n

Marks adopted by defendant 1 were deceptively similar to Plaintiff\u2019s well known registered trademarks.<\/p>\n

Analysis, Law and Decision<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

High Court in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, stated that it was evident that the defendants did not have any registration of the impugned marks. Defendant 1 was nevertheless claiming right over the mark as a \u201cpermitted user\u201d.<\/p>\n

Further, it was pertinent to note that Prima facie, adoption and registration of the impugned marks by Mr Pal does not appear to be bona fide and instead appears to be in violation of the decree passed against him. Be that as it may, the Plaintiff-Society has already taken steps for enforcement of the said decree against the said Defendants. The said execution is, however, against parties to the said decree. In the present suit, the Plaintiff-Society is seeking injunction against the purported \u201cpermitted users\u201d<\/span> who claim their right through Mr Pal.<\/p>\n

Hence, Bench found a prima facie case in favour of the plaintiff, since they were a prior adopter, user and owner since 1948, and the prior registered proprietor of well-known trademarks \u2018Delhi Public School\u2019 and \u2018DPS\u2019.<\/p>\n

Adding to the above analysis, Court added that the use of the impugned mark \u2013 \u2018Delhi Public International School\u2019\/\u2019DPS\u2019 and the impugned logo, was deceptively similar to the mark of the plaintiff-society and was in breach\/violation of the decree passed by this Court against Mr Pal.<\/p>\n

Hence, adoption of the impugned marks was prima facie<\/em> invalid.<\/p>\n

Mr Mittal demonstrated that the defendant-school intentionally misrepresented itself to be in association with the plaintiff-society due to the prominence of \u2018Delhi Public School\u2019\/ \u2018DPS\u2019 and the crest logo can be perceived by the general public as indicative of the source of \u2018Delhi Public School\u2019 being the plaintiff society.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Court granted an interim injunction in favour of the plaintiff-society.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the Defendants, their trustees, directors, managing committee members, office bearers, employees, delegates, representatives, assigns, associates, agents or anybody acting on their behalf, have been restrained from:<\/p>\n

(a) adopting, using and\/ or dealing in any manner with the registered trademark of the Plaintiff- \u2018Delhi Public School\u2019 and \u2018DPS\u2019 and logo or any other trademark that is identical or deceptively similar to the Plaintiff\u2019s aforenoted trademark amounting to infringement of the Plaintiff\u2019s said trade marks;<\/p>\n

(b) offering for sale, adopting, using and\/or dealing in any manner with the registered trade mark of the Plaintiff- \u2018Delhi Public School\u2019 and\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018DPS\u2019 and logo of the Plaintiff or any other trade mark identical or deceptively similar to the Plaintiff’s trade mark amounting to passing off the Plaintiff’s said trademark and further restraining the Defendants from representing in any manner that they are connected with the plaintiff; and<\/p>\n

(c) using or dealing in any manner with the impugned trademark\/ names \u2018Delhi Public International School\u2019 and \u2018DPIS\u2019 and logo<\/p>\n

Matter to be re-notified on 9-09-2021.[Delhi Public School Society v. Delhi Public International School, CS (COMM) 322 of 2021, decided on 17-08-2021]<\/p>\n
