Plaintiffs also conceived a distinct logo and composite mark which comprises of words &#8216;AAJ TAK&#8217; written in Hindi in a unique font in white colour against a solid red background with a unique black outer lining\/frame which is inherently distinctive of the plaintiffs and their news channels and allied goods and services. According to the plaintiffs, the distinctive colour combination being the dominant and essential elements of the AAJ TAK brand have acquired a secondary meaning and are associated with the plaintiffs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In December 2025, the plaintiffs had discovered that the defendants had been operating a digital news channel on the Jio TV platform using the marks &#8216;CHARCHA AAJ KI&#8217; and <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/13_Aaj-Tak-Trade-mark-infringement-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"65\" height=\"65\"\/>, which is deceptively similar to the plaintiff&#8217;s registered trade mark <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/13_Aaj-Tak-Trade-mark-infringement-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"68\" height=\"65\"\/>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The plaintiffs stated that while they did not have any objection to use of word mark &#8216;\u091a\u091a\u091a\u093e \u0906\u091c \u0915\u0940&#8217;, the defendant was not entitled to use the identical red-white-black colour combination as also registered device mark <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/13_Aaj-Tak-Trade-mark-infringement-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"54\"\/> in the same manner, order and arrangement as used by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs had further urged that an overall comparison of plaintiffs&#8217; trademarks and impugned mark shows stark and striking similarities and trade channels being common with common viewers, confusion in the general public is inevitable especially since it was being used in the same space i.e in the field of news with common customer base.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The plaintiffs argued that the defendants were using the impugned mark solely to ride on the enviable reputation of the plaintiffs by misrepresenting to the public that its mark is associated with the plaintiffs and such an act amounts to passing off, thereby violating the common law rights of the plaintiffs.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis, Law and Decision<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that the plaintiffs had out a prima facie case for grant of ex parte ad interim injunction. Balance of convenience lay in favour of the plaintiffs and in case interim relief was not granted, plaintiffs would suffer irreparable loss and injury.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Accordingly, the Court restrained the defendant, its directors, proprietors, promoters, partners, managers, employees, principals, agents, associates, affiliates, licensees, distributors, or any and all others acting on its behalf, from, directly or indirectly, using the impugned marks to the extent it is similar\/identical or deceptively similar to plaintiffs&#8217; registered trademarks and other formative trade marks with distinctive red-white-black colour combination and outline borders, in any manner whatsoever, on its channel and websites and\/or any social media or any other platform, so as to amount to infringement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court also stated that the defendants would be at a liberty to use the words\/expression &#8216;\u091a\u091a\u091a\u093e \u0906\u091c \u0915\u0940&#8217; in a manner that does not infringe plaintiffs&#8217; marks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Living Media India Ltd. v.
