Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) February 2026 Roundup brings together some of the most significant High Court rulings on personality rights, copyright infringement, trade mark disputes, and emerging AI-related challenges in intellectual property law.<\/p>\n

During February 2026, courts across India delivered notable decisions addressing illegal streaming of ICC cricket matches, misuse of celebrity identities through AI-generated deepfakes, protection of personality and publicity rights, and trade mark disputes involving prior user rights and territorial jurisdiction. The courts also clarified important principles including the ‘Kerly Impasse’ in trade mark law and the illegality of unilateral cancellation of a registered trade mark without rectification proceedings.<\/p>\n

This curated roundup highlights the key High Court judgments shaping India’s intellectual property jurisprudence, reflecting the judiciary’s evolving approach to digital infringement, celebrity rights protection, and trade mark enforcement in the age of e-commerce and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

The Court held that JioStar India had established a prima facie case of infringement of Broadcast Reproduction Rights under Section 37<\/a> of the Copyright Act, 1957<\/a>, and that immediate relief was necessary to prevent irreparable loss.

MADRAS HIGH COURT<\/span> | Unilateral cancellation of registered trade mark by Registrar Without Rectification Proceedings is illegal<\/p>\n

In an appeal filed under Section 91<\/a> of the Trade Marks Act, 1999<\/a> (‘Trade Marks Act’), challenging the proceedings of the Registrar of Trade Marks dated 09-05-2025, a Single Judge Bench of N. Anand Venkatesh, J., held that the unilateral cancellation of the appellant’s trade mark registration was illegal and unsustainable. The Court observed that once a Registration Certificate is issued, cancellation can only be done through rectification proceedings, and not by unilateral administrative action. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside and reinstatement of the registration was directed. [Perundurai Chennimalai Gounder Duraisamy Trading as Sakthi Trading Co.<\/span> v. Registrar of Trade Marks Office<\/span>, 2026 SCC OnLine Mad 868<\/a>, decided on 27-01-2026]<\/p>\n

DELHI HIGH COURT<\/span> | Trademark registration, Marketing agreement execution & e-commerce availability confers Territorial Jurisdiction in infringement suit<\/p>\n

In an appeal challenging Single Judge Bench’s order allowing an application under Order VII Rule 10<\/a>, Civil Procedure Code, 1908<\/a> (CPC), whereby the plaint in a commercial suit seeking permanent injunction against infringement and passing off, was directed to be returned for presentation before the appropriate court, a Division Bench of C. Hari Shankar* and Om Prakash Shukla, JJ., set aside the impugned judgment and held that the suit was maintainable before the Delhi High Court. The Court held that in a trademark infringement suit, registration of the mark within the territorial jurisdiction confers a statutory right whose violation forms part of the cause of action; where the plea of infringement is founded on use beyond a permitted-use agreement, the execution of that agreement is a material fact constituting part of the cause of action; and in the context of e-commerce, the availability of infringing goods for purchase on platforms accessible in the forum state gives rise to jurisdiction, irrespective of who uploaded the listing. [Kohinoor Seed Fields India (P) Ltd.<\/span> v. Veda Seed Sciences (P) Ltd.<\/span>, 2025 SCC OnLine Del 8727<\/a>, Decided on 03-12-2025]<\/p>\n

DELHI HIGH COURT<\/span> | Mark “Chacha” distinctive for garments; grants interim injunction in trade mark suit<\/p>\n

In an appeal against the Commercial Court’s order refusing to grant interim injunction in a trade mark infringement suit on the ground that the expression “Chacha” is a generic and commonplace word over which no monopoly could be claimed, the Division Bench of C. Hari Shankar* and Om Prakash Shukla, JJ., held that the Commercial Court erred in treating the expression “Chacha” as generic, set aside the impugned order and restrained the use of the impugned mark pending trial. The Court reiterated that distinctiveness must be examined in relation to the goods for which the mark is used and held that use of Chacha CLOTH HOUSE for garments prima facie infringed the registered trade marks Chacha SAREE BAZAR PVT. LTD. and allied marks. [Chacha Saree Bazar (P) Ltd.<\/span> v. Chacha Cloth House<\/span>, 2026 SCC OnLine Del 761<\/a>, decided on 12-2-2026]<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION<\/h3>\n

The IPR rulings of February 2026 demonstrate the judiciary’s growing emphasis on protecting commercial goodwill, intellectual property assets, and personality rights in the digital ecosystem. High Courts actively restrained illegal streaming of copyrighted sports broadcasts, strengthened trade mark protection by recognising prior user rights, and granted relief against AI-generated deepfakes misusing celebrity identities.<\/p>\n

These developments underscore the expanding scope of intellectual property enforcement in India, particularly in addressing challenges arising from digital platforms, artificial intelligence technologies, and online marketplaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
