1999 in respect of readymade garments. He licenses his trade mark to Rajneesh who is
registered under the Act as the registered user. In the agreement it was clarified that Rajneesh
can only use the trade mark for readymade garments. After this, Rajneesh also starts using
this trade mark for his footwear products. This is opposed by Ramesh on the ground that the
trade mark was licensed only for the readymade garments. In response to this Rajneesh
argues that Ramesh never had registration of the trade mark for footwear products and
therefore, he cannot stop him from using it in relation to such products by merely referring to
the terms of the agreement. He further argued that a licensor must possess certain rights, so as
to stop the licensee from exercising such a right. To this, Ramesh refers to section 29(4) of
the Trade Marks Act, 1999 which gives protection to a registered trade mark from
disparagement even if the same is not used in relation to the goods for which it is registered.
Decide the dispute keeping the rival contentions and the relevant provisions of the Trade
Marks Act, 1999 in mind.

6. A is the manufacturer of Chayawanprash and the registered proprietor of “Ambar” trade
mark. B is the manufacturer of what it calls as Amritprash and the registered proprietor of
the” Nimami Amritprash" trade mark. In an advertisement campaign started by B,
Chayawanprash was shown as something which is not to be consumed in summers as the
same may have some adverse impact on one’s health as suggested in the outcome of some
scientific investigations. A files a suit of infringement against B seeking injunction against
the advertisement under section 29(8) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 claiming that the
advertisement is detrimental to the generic product Chayawanprash and A having the largest
market share in Chayawanprash in India will suffer the most because of this. Against this B
argues that the advertisement did not name Ambar and the fact that Chayawanprash is a
generic name the advertisement can’t be called as disparaging a trade mark for which one can
invoke section 29(8) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. B also argues that the references of
scientific investigations are in fact true and not fabricated. To this, A also submitted several
scientific studies suggesting a contrary inference. Decide, whether an order of injunction can
be granted in this case or not.
7. “Indian courts have consistently and rigidly disapproved the attempt by Indian trade and
industry to bask in the warmth of, and make illicit profit from, a reputation not earned
legitimately by their own effort but built by others elsewhere, by the short circuit of trickery
and passing off and thus protected not only private rights but commercial morality and thus
expanded the scope of passing off action to meet that end. But this approach must be
confined to same or similar products or at the most closely related products and services. It
is moreover somewhat odd that marks not registered in India, not used in India, with
reputation not established in India by carrying on business in India, would yet be protected in
India on the basis that their reputation elsewhere is known in this country due to publicity in
the media whereas statutory protection cannot be acquired for them in India for the reason
that they are neither used in India nor proposed to be used in India by a registered proprietor
or by a registered user.” Critically examine the given observation of the Delhi High Court in
the case of Rob Mathys v. Synthes, 1997 PTC 669.
