The Division Judge Bench of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Yashwant Varma<\/span> and <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Ravinder Dudeja<\/span>, JJ., found merit in the appeal challenging the order passed by the Tis Hazari Court and thus held that till the next date of hearing, there shall be a stay on the impugned order dated 14-07-2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Background<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Appellant manufactured, distributed, traded, and sold a wide range of clothing, fashion, and lifestyle products, including fashion wear, sportswear, eyewear, luggage, bags, and luxurious home d&eacute;cor, as well as other allied and related goods and services. Appellant started its business in 1967 and had since then been using the mark &#8216;POLO&#8217; in conjunction with other words\/marks in various styles and artistic formats with and without the device of Polo Player, which had been created and were being created over time, namely POLO, POLO RALPH LAUREN.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Appellant claimed that respondent was in the business of manufacturing, marketing, soliciting, selling, displaying and trading a variety of household products and kitchen utensils, including but not limited to stainless steel vacuum insulated bottles, single wall bottles, trays, cookware, dinnerware and other allied\/related products, under the trade marks &#8216;POLOLIFETIME&#8217;, POLO, Device of Polo Player for its products which were identical and deceptively similar to the marks of appellant. Appellant contended that adding the word &#8216;LIFETIME&#8217; to the phrase &#8216;POLO&#8217; did not make it distinctive and identifiable and thus respondent&#8217;s trade mark\/label was identical and deceptively like appellant&#8217;s trade mark\/label in every way, including phonetically, graphically, and architecturally, in its basic idea and critical elements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Tis Hazari Court vide an order dated 14-07-2023 while deciding appellant&#8217;s application under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2, vacated the ad-interim injunction restraining respondent from using, selling, displaying, advertising and soliciting its products under the marks Polo Lifetime\/Polo\/POLOLIFETIME and any other marks which might be identical and deceptively similar to the said marks of appellant i.e., the POLO\/LAUREN CO. L.P.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Analysis, Law, and Decision<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court opined that the impugned order dated 14-07-2023 passed by the Tis Hazari Court, in terms of which an ex-parte injunction which was granted on 26-11-2020 had come to be discharged, was <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">prima facie<\/span> not sustainable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that respondent held a registration for the trade mark &#8216;POLOLIFETIME&#8217;, a composite word, which was registered on 25-02-2011 and on the other hand, appellant held registrations for the word &#8216;POLO&#8217; as well as the mark &#8216;RALPH LAUREN&#8217; carrying with it a picture of a polo player as part of the device registration commencing from 04-01-1980 to 27-07-1992.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court also noted that in the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Polo\/Lauren Company L.P.<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Rohit S.
