Delhi High Court Restrains Veepro From Using Trademark Deceptively Similar To Wipro

The court also ordered Veepro to pay Rs 4 lakh towards damages and costs.

Justice Vikas Mahajan passed the decree in a suit filed by Wipro Enterprises Private Limited against Veepro Lights and Decor, which was allegedly using the mark 'VEEPRO' on its website and in connection with lighting and interior solution products.

Wipro told the Court that it had been using its 'WIPRO' trademark since 1977 and held several registrations for the mark, including in respect of lighting products. The trademark had also been declared well-known by the High Court in an earlier proceeding in October 2025.

The company said it discovered the defendant's use of 'VEEPRO' on its website in February 2025.

The Court had subsequently granted an interim injunction restraining the defendant from using 'VEEPRO' or any mark deceptively similar to 'WIPRO'.

Despite being served with summons in March 2025, the defendant neither appeared in the proceedings nor filed a written statement. It was eventually proceeded against ex parte.

Justice Mahajan noted that Wipro's status as the registered proprietor of the mark, coupled with its recognition as a well-known trademark, entitled it to protection of its statutory and common law rights.

The Court held that the allegations in Wipro's plaint had remained uncontroverted and that the company was entitled to a decree under Order VIII Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

“Therefore, having regard to the uncontroverted averments made in the plaint,” the Court said, Wipro was entitled to a decree in its favour.

The Court accordingly decreed the suit in terms of Wipro's prayers for relief and awarded Rs 4 lakh towards damages and costs.

The amount included the Rs 2 lakh court fee paid by Wipro and Rs 2 lakh paid to the Local Commissioner appointed in the case.
