कर्नाटक उच्च न्यायालय ने Classic Legends और बोमन ईरानी को 'Yezdi' का उपयोग करने से रोक दिया’ ट्रेडमार्क. बोमन ईरानी के पक्ष में जारी किए गए सभी ट्रेडमार्क और पंजीकरण प्रमाण पत्र अवैध थे. इसलिए भी कि Ideal Jawa लिक्विडेशन में है, अदालत अपने सभी ट्रेडमार्क की कस्टडी रखेगी.
अदालत ने फैसला सुनाया कि Classic Legends और Boman Irani को Ideal Jawa को Yezdi ट्रेडमार्क के उपयोग से हुए मुनाफे का भुगतान करना होगा. न्यायाधीश एसआर कृष्ण कुमार ने मुंबई में रजिस्ट्रार ऑफ ट्रेडमार्क को निर्देश दिया है, नई दिल्ली, और अहमदाबाद. उन्हें आधिकारिक परिसमापक के माध्यम से सभी संबंधित पंजीकरण रद्द करने हैं. The liquidator will also receive Rs 10 lakh from Boman Irani and Classic Legends.
The Justice ruled that Boman Irani and his father, Rustom Irani, had no rights to the trademark. Ideal Jawa Company had registered and used it since 1969. The court order is directed to be held in abeyance for one month due to a request from a senior counsel. The restrained parties, or anyone acting on their behalf, are not permitted to use the Yezdi or any related trademark.
“The only way in which a trademark right can be obtained is by simply applying for registration of the mark without reference to the company. This has been done by Boman Irani. His conduct in obtaining registration of the mark is certainly blameworthy.” The court condemned Boman Irani for independently applying for the approval of the trademark “without obtaining the consent of the court”.
Except for the official liquidator, no one can apply for Yezdi trademark registration in any form. The Registrar of Trademarks will not allow it in any of its offices without the court’s permission. Ideal Jawa Employees Union and the Official Liquidator are contesting the trademark registration granted to Boman Irani and Classic Legends.
