Delhi High Court Restrains Unauthorised Commercial Use Of Titan's 'TANEIRA' Trademark

The Delhi High Court on 5 November restrained unidentified persons from carrying out commercial activities using Titan Company Limited's registered trademark 'TANEIRA' without its authorisation, holding that the material on record prima facie indicated trademark infringement.

Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav passed the interim order while hearing a trademark infringement suit filed by Titan against John Doe and others. He also directed the blocking of the seller's online profile and suspension of the associated WhatsApp number.

Titan, represented by Advocate Pravin Anand, submitted that it was the registered proprietor of the TANEIRA trademark and that unidentified persons were commercially using the mark without its consent.

It argued that the unauthorised activities on online platforms were causing irreparable damage and that immediate intervention was necessary to prevent further losses.

After examining the documents placed on record, the Bench observed that the material prima facie established Titan's ownership of the registered trademark and indicated that the defendant was conducting commercial activities using the mark without the company's consent or knowledge.

Accordingly, the High Court restrained the defendant from carrying out any commercial activities using Titan's trademark in any manner until the next date of hearing.

The matter will next be heard on 10 December.
