Dindayal Industries Ltd. has won an important decision in their fight over the "DINDAYAL" name. The Delhi High Court has decided in their favor, stopping Dindayal Ayurved Bhawan from using the name. Here's a simple breakdown of what happened.
Dindayal Industries Ltd. (the company that started the case) has been using the "DINDAYAL" name since 1927 for their ayurvedic products. They say it's a famous brand. On the other side, Dindayal Ayurved Bhawan (the other company) began using the name more recently, in 2014, and argued that "DINDAYAL" is a common name in their family.
Trademark Rights: The court found that "DINDAYAL" is the main part of the company's brand. Even though it's a common name, its use in ayurvedic products is unique to Dindayal Industries.
Long Use and Reputation: Dindayal Industries has used the name for a long time, building a strong reputation. The court noticed their long presence in the market and celebrity endorsements.
Other Company's Actions: The court didn't agree with the other company's argument about family history. It saw their use of the "DINDAYAL" name as trying to benefit from Dindayal Industries' established reputation.
The other company argued that "DINDAYAL" is a common name and said they had a right to use it. They also mentioned that Dindayal Industries didn't have a separate registration for "DINDAYAL." However, the court rejected these points, focusing on Dindayal Industries' long history and recognition in the market.
The court's decision means that Dindayal Ayurved Bhawan can't use the "DINDAYAL" name for their products until the case is fully resolved. This case shows how important trademark rights are and the difficulties of using common names in business.
