The plaintiff also issues baggage tags to its crew members which bear the plaintiff&#8217;s &#8216;VISTARA Marks&#39;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">In July 2020, the plaintiff received information about the sale of keychains and baggage tags bearing the &#8216;VISTARA Marks&#39; which were being sold on a Chinese e-commerce platform, namely AliExpress, by the seller, despite the e-commerce platform being based mostly in China, the website contained several listings by the defendant of infringing baggage tags and keychains bearing the &#8216;VISTARA Marks&#39; which were eligible for shipping to India.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the present suit was filed seeking inter alia a decree of permanent injunction restraining the defendant, their associated companies, subsidiaries, directors, wholesalers, distributors, partners or proprietors, its officers, servant and agents from advertising, directly or indirectly offering any goods or services, using or registering corporate names, domain names, or listings on social media platforms as also e-commerce websites which bear the plaintiff&#8217;s registered trademarks &#8216;VISTARA&#39; and\/or along with relief against passing off, dilution, tarnishment and unfair competition<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 3%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12_Vistara-1-300x190.png\" alt=\"VISTARA\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-272965\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Placing reliance on <i>TATA SIA Airlines Limited<\/i> v. <i>Pilot18 Aviation Book Store<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/6Ywp8nts\">2019 SCC OnLine Del 9535,<\/a> the Court noted that the use of the &#8220;VISTARA Marks&#8221; not only amounts to infringement and passing off of the mark of the plaintiff but would cause dilution of the mark of the plaintiff, further causing deception and confusion in the mind of the unwary consumer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court remarked <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;Airports are an incredibly critical junction of not only travel but also of trade and commerce; any lapse in security, especially by permitting the sale of vagrantly-infringing goods, would be turning a blind eye to obvious wrongdoings of the defendant.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Considering the fact that the plaintiff is the registered proprietor of the &#8216;VISTARA Marks&#39; and none has entered appearance for the defendant, this Court is of the opinion that the defendant has no justification for the adoption of an identical trade mark for sale of their goods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Reliance was placed on <i>Tata Sons Ltd.<\/i> v. <i>Manoj Dodia<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/rLAzCO43\">2011 SCC OnLine Del 1520<\/a> wherein it was held that when a person uses another person&#8217;s &#8220;well-known trade mark&#8221;, he tries to take advantage of the goodwill that such a &#8220;well-known trade mark&#8221; enjoys. Such an act constitutes unfair competition. It also causes dilution of a &#8220;well-known trade mark&#8221; as it loses its ability to be unique and distinctively identified and distinguish as one source and consequent change in perception which reduces the market value or selling power of the product bearing the well-known trade mark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court thus granted permanent injunction against the entity selling infringing keychains and baggage tags bearing the &#8216;VISTARA Marks&#39; and in view of the object and mandate of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726943\">Commercial Courts Act, 2015<\/a>; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002790643\">Delhi High Court (Original Side) Rules, 2018<\/a>; and the Delhi High Court Intellectual Property Division Rules, 2022, the plaintiff was held entitled to damages and costs quantified at Rs 20 Lakh (Rupees Twenty Lakh only).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Tata Sia Airlines Limited v.
