M/s. Roots Industries India Pvt. Ltd. v. The Registrar of Trade Marks and Anr., CMA(TM) 8/2024

Case number
CMA(TM) 8/2024
Date of judgment
Judge
Abdul Quddhose C. M. A
Outcome
Dismissed

Headnote

An appeal against an order of the Mumbai Trade Marks Registry was filed at Madras because the opponent had its office at Coimbatore and had posted the opposition from there. Jurisdiction follows the appropriate office from which the application originates, so no part of the cause of action arose at Chennai.

Disposition

Dismissed for want of territorial jurisdiction, not on merits.

Headnote by BRB Legal, written from the judgment: a summary for reference, not legal advice.
