MOMO\u2019 or any other mark identical or deceptively similar to the plaintiff\u2019s registered trade mark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Background<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In 2008, the plaintiff, Wow Momo Food Private Limited had coined and adopted the trade mark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"51\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a>. The plaintiff was also the registered proprietor of the marks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"62\" height=\"35\" \/><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"67\" height=\"43\" \/><\/a>, and \u2018WOW MOMO\u2019. Further, vide business transfer agreement, the rights in the \u2018WOW MOMO\u2019 mark were transferred by Wow Foods Private Limited to the plaintiff. On 28-07-2023, the plaintiff had also registered the domain name www.wowmomo.com and the plaintiff\u2019s website also contained the details about its business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The plaintiff stated that the defendant was holding itself out as an agency which could provide franchises for the plaintiff. The plaintiff referred to a video clip, in which the defendant\u2019s representatives offered franchises for the plaintiff\u2019s business and stated that in order to become a franchisee of the plaintiff, any interested person could click the link provided in the video description and provide the required details, whereafter the plaintiff\u2019s representative would get in touch with him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After clicking the link, the viewers were directed to another website of the defendant which contained the details of the plaintiff\u2019s alleged franchises. The plaintiff submitted that the defendant operated a website where it provided franchises for various Indian start-ups, including the plaintiff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The plaintiff alleged that the use of the plaintiff\u2019s registered trade mark \u2018WOW MOMO\u2019 on the defendant\u2019s website constituted infringement of the plaintiff\u2019s registered trade mark. The website also duped and mislead persons into believing that the plaintiff was providing franchises through the defendant and the general public was being defrauded by the defendant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the plaintiff filed a suit seeking permanent injunction, restraining the defendant and others acting on its behalf from directly or indirectly using, offer or publishing any video with the trade mark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"58\" height=\"33\" \/><\/a>, WOW! MOMO or any other mark similar to the plaintiff\u2019s registered trade mark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The plaintiff also filed the present application under Order <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523435\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">39 Rules 1<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001523437\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CPC<\/a> for the grant of interim injunction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Analysis, Law, and Decision<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court opined that the defendant was perpetrating a fraud by luring people into applying for becoming the plaintiff\u2019s franchisees, when no such franchises was actually extended by the plaintiff. In the process, the defendant was also infringing the plaintiff\u2019s registered trade mark by making unauthorised use of the mark. Thus, a case for the grant of interlocutory injunction was made out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court opined that the balance of convenience was in the plaintiff\u2019s favour for the grant of ex parte injunction and if the injunction was not granted ex parte, it would result in the defendant continuing to defraud the public at the plaintiff\u2019s expense. The Court opined that the failure to grant ex parte injunction would result in irreparable prejudice to the plaintiff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, till the next date of hearing, the Court restrained the defendants and others acting on its behalf from directly or indirectly using, advertising or publishing any video which reflected the trade mark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"58\" height=\"33\" \/><\/a>, \u2018WOW! MOMO\u2019 or any other mark identical or deceptively similar to the plaintiff\u2019s registered trade mark. The Court directed the defendant to take down all the videos relating to the plaintiff or making any reference to the plaintiff\u2019s registered trade mark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/17-30_Delhi-WOW-Momos-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"58\" height=\"33\" \/><\/a>, \u2018WOW!

Momo from its website.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further directed the defendant to disclose all the persons to whom the defendants had granted purported franchises of the plaintiff and amount that it had earned from such activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The matter would next be listed on 22-12-2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Wow Momo Foods Pvt.
