The “LV” Didn’t Stand for Legal Victory This Time!
•+ Connect
Louis Vuitton, the world’s most valuable luxury brand worth over $47 billion, sued two small Karol Bagh traders in 2017 for trademark infringement. Nine years later, on May 8, 2026, the Saket District Court dismissed the suit entirely. The Local Commissioner found just 15 pairs of shoes outside Manjeet Singh’s shop, the trader denied ownership, and LV produced zero evidence to rebut that. Against Kapil Kumar of Gaffar Market, the remaining shoes carried the logo “SO WHAT - IN YOUR MIND,” which the court noted bore no resemblance to LV’s trademark, not even remotely.
This case is a masterclass in Section 29 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Owning a trademark registration is a right, not a blank cheque. A John Doe order, a raid, and a globally iconic logo are not enough. Actionable involvement must be proved, and Indian courts demand evidence, not just prestige. 🎓⚖️

1. Trademarks (Brand Identity & Slogans)
Parle holds registered word marks for “MELODY” and
“MELODY 2 IN 1” under Class 30 (Confectionery). Crucially, their legendary marketing phrase-“Melody itni chocolaty kyon hai?”-is an independently registered slogan trademark, legally blocking rivals from utilizing the phrase or layout in advertising.
2. Trade Dress (Packaging Visuals)
Under Section 2 of the Indian Trade Marks Act, that specific yellow-and-brown dual-tone wrapper is protected Trade Dress. Backed by the landmark Supreme Court precedent Parle Products v. J.P. & Co. (1972), this prevents competitors from launching products with “deceptively similar” packaging.
The court established that minor differences do not shield an infringer if the overall packaging creates a confusing general impression for the average consumer.
3. Trade Secrets (Formulation & Methods)
Why isn’t the recipe patented? Because patents expire in 20 years. Instead, the precise ingredient ratios, chemical percentages, and micro-temperatures required to texture a chewy caramel shell around a melting chocolate center without bleeding or dissolving are kept as a Trade Secret-ensuring exclusivity indefinitely.
4. Patents (Industrial Automation)
While the recipe is a secret, the factory production relies on Utility and Process Patents. Co-extrusion technology-the mechanics of pumping two completely distinct viscous masses through a single automated nozzle at mass scale-and high-speed double-twist wrapping machinery rely on heavily patented engineering systems.

🚨 Using a trending audio does NOT automatically mean you can use it for commercial content.

Many creators assume that if Instagram provides an audio, it’s safe for every type of reel. That’s not always true.

If you’re promoting a product, service, brand, course, agency, or business, using copyrighted music without the proper licence could expose you to copyright claims, muted content, takedowns, or monetization issues.

Before you jump on the next trending sound, make sure you understand the difference between:
✅ Personal/creator use
❌ Commercial use

One viral reel isn’t worth a copyright headache.

Have you ever checked the licence behind a trending audio? 👇

Sandals are usually judged for comfort, not authorship. But a product made to support the foot is not automatically outside copyright.
In the Dutch case between Birkenstock and Scapino, the court recognised copyright in Birkenstock’s Arizona, Madrid and Florida sandals.
The dispute was not about whether sandals are functional.
That was obvious. The question was whether the final design still reflected original expression under copyright law.
Scapino argued that the footbed, cork edge and strap placement were common features of ergonomic footwear.
The court examined the sandal as a complete work. It looked at how those features were shaped, proportioned and combined, including the contour of the sole, the visible cork profile and the integration of the straps into the overall form.
In November 2025, the court found that these were not merely elements dictated by function. Their precise arrangement reflected creative choices, which was sufficient for copyright protection in the Netherlands.
The case shows that even footwear can qualify as applied art.
But that still depends on how each country applies originality to design.
When entering new markets, designers and businesses must account for differences in copyright and design protection standards. Check designs before launch and address risks early. It is better than dealing with disputes later.

Trending audio use kiya… aur reel mute/remove ho gayi? 😳🎵

Just because an audio is “trending” doesn’t always mean it’s safe for commercial or business use.
Creators & businesses can face:
⚠️ Copyright claims
⚠️ Muted reels
⚠️ Content removal
⚠️ Account restrictions

Especially if you’re using reels for brand promotion, understanding copyright rules is important.

Before using any audio:
✔️ Check licensing
✔️ Use platform-approved music
✔️ Avoid blindly copying trends

One trending sound can become one legal problem. ⚖️

Delhi High Court recently dealt with a trademark dispute involving the movie title “JIGRA” and Dharma Productions. AL The Court reportedly refused interim relief and directed inclusion of a disclaimer in the matter.
• BIG LESSON:
Even film titles, brand names & creative projects can face trademark issues if similar marks already exist.
Before launching a:
Movie
Brand
Song
Startup
Series
A proper trademark search is IMPORTANT Because one similar name can lead to:
Legal notices
Court cases
Rebranding costs
& Release complications
Creativity is powerful.
But legal clearance matters too.
Would you rename a movie after investing crores in marketing?

“Sardarbuksh” vs “Starbucks”
+ Follow..
One of the most interesting trademark disputes in India highlighted the concept of deceptive similarity under trademark law.
In Starbucks v. Sardarbuksh (2018), the Delhi High Court examined whether the name “Sardarbuksh” created confusion with the globally recognized brand “Starbucks.”
The Court held that the mark was deceptively similar and capable of misleading consumers, ultimately directing the defendant to change its business name.
The case is a reminder that trademark law is not just about identical copying.
Even a similar sounding or visually resembling mark can amount to infringement if it creates confusion in the minds of consumers.
Because in trademark law, perception matters.

“MakeMyTrip vs MakeMyTravel” 🚨
Sirf naam similar hone se bhi legal notice aa sakta hai.
Agar aapka brand kisi famous trademark jaisa lagta hai, toh future mein objection, opposition ya court issue ho sakta hai. ⚖️

Brand launch karne se pehle trademark search zaroor karo.
Ek galat naam = rebranding + loss + legal headache.

Comment “TM” if you want to know whether your brand name is safe or not. 👇

I genuinely thought trademark registration was just filling one form...
Then I started learning about forms like TM-A, TM-M, TM-R, and TM-O — and realized trademark law is much more practical than it looks in textbooks.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
TM-A
Used for filing a new trademark application.
This is the main form used to register a brand name, logo, slogan, or business identity.
TM-M
Used when changes or corrections are needed in an existing trademark application.
For example: correction of name, address, or other amendment requests.
TM-R
Used for renewal of a registered trademark.
In India, a trademark is valid for 10 years and needs renewal to continue protection.
TM-O
Used for filing opposition against a trademark application.
If someone believes a newly filed trademark is similar to their existing brand, they can oppose it through this form.
Small correction to the image:
TM-C is specifically used for obtaining a Search Certificate/ NOC for copyright registration of artistic works, and not for general trademark record searches.
The more I learn Intellectual Property Law, the more I understand that protecting a brand is not just about creativity
— it’s also about understanding the legal process behind it.
