The respondent had applied for registration of the mark on a proposed-to-be-used basis on 2 May 2019 and subsequently obtained registration. The dispute arose when the petitioner applied for registration of the mark &#8220;Renee Glass Skin SPF 50&#8221; in January 2025 and was thereafter served with a legal notice by the respondent alleging trade mark infringement. Contesting the claim, the petitioner asserted that the expression &#8220;GLASS SKIN&#8221; is descriptive of a skincare trend and lacks distinctiveness, rendering it incapable of exclusive appropriation. The controversy escalated when Amazon removed the petitioner&#8217;s product listings in October 2025 on the basis of the respondent&#8217;s registered trade mark rights. Aggrieved by the respondent&#8217;s assertion of exclusivity over the term &#8220;GLASS SKIN&#8221; and the consequent impact on its business operations, the petitioner has thus approached the Court seeking rectification and cancellation of the impugned trade mark registration.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Delhi High Court observed that the controversy in the present case centered on whether the mark &#8220;GLASS SKIN&#8221; was &#8220;descriptive&#8221; or &#8220;suggestive&#8221;. Referring to <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">McCarthy on Trademarks and Unfair Competition<\/span>, the Court noted that while arbitrary and invented marks enjoy the highest degree of protection, descriptive marks are entitled to protection only upon acquiring secondary significance. Examining various articles, industry publications and material placed on record, the Court found that the expression &#8220;GLASS SKIN&#8221; has been widely used in the beauty and skincare industry to describe a Korean beauty trend associated with transparent, luminous and flawless skin. The Court further noted that not only several stakeholders in the cosmetics industry, including Nykaa, Garnier, Nivea, Lakme, L&#8217;Or&eacute;al and Mamaearth, but even the respondent itself had used the term in a descriptive manner to indicate the qualities, intended purpose and end result of skincare products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Rejecting the respondent&#8217;s contention that &#8220;GLASS SKIN&#8221; was a suggestive mark requiring consumer imagination, the Court held that when used in relation to skincare and cosmetic products, the expression directly conveyed the intended purpose and result of the goods. The Court observed that it would be &#8220;absurd&#8221; to suggest that consumers encountering the term &#8220;GLASS SKIN&#8221; on cosmetic products would be unable to understand what the product sought to achieve. The Court also found that no material had been placed on record to establish that the mark had acquired secondary significance so as to justify registration of an otherwise descriptive expression. Consequently, the Court concluded that the mark fell within the prohibition contained in Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001563745\" target=\"_blank\">9(1)(<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">b<\/span>)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002776236\" target=\"_blank\">Trade Marks Act, 1999<\/a>, as it described the kind and intended purpose of the goods.<\/p>\n<h3>Decision<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Holding that the registration of the mark &#8220;GLASS SKIN&#8221; was without sufficient cause and was wrongly remaining on the Register of Trade Marks, the Court allowed the rectification petition under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001563709\" target=\"_blank\">57<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002776236\" target=\"_blank\">Trade Marks Act, 1999<\/a>. The Registrar of Trade Marks was directed to cancel and remove the registration of the mark &#8220;GLASS SKIN&#8221; granted to the respondent in Class 3 within 4 weeks. The petition was accordingly disposed of with no order as to costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"color: #ee0000; font-weight: bold;\">Also Read:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/05\/01\/del-hc-orders-rectification-of-ss-white-trade-mark-registration\/\" target=\"_blank\">Del HC Orders Rectification of S.S.
