M/s. V.A. Mishra & Sons v. The Registrar of Trademarks, W.P.(IPD) No. 16 of 2024

Case number
W.P.(IPD) No. 16 of 2024
Date of judgment
Outcome
Allowed

Headnote

Section 25(3) requires the Registrar to send notice of the date of expiration of the registration and of the conditions on which it may be renewed. No such notice was issued here, and the Registry's counsel could place no material to show that one had been sent, so a mandamus went to accept a renewal request filed years after the date the Registry's own website showed.

Disposition

Writ petition allowed. A writ of mandamus issued directing the Registry to accept the renewal request.
