Madras High Court Dismisses Plea By Kerala SRTC Against Use Of “KSRTC” Mark By Karnataka SRTC, Says Both PSUs Should Co-Exist Peacefully

Live Law  

The Madras High Court has recently dismissed a plea moved by Kerala State Road Transport Corporation against the registration of the word mark “KSRTC” by the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation. Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy observed that as per Section 33 of the Trade Marks Act, Kerala SRTC had acquiesced in the use of the mark by the Karnataka SRTC. Similarly, relying on Sub Section of Section 33, the court added that Karnataka SRTC was not entitled to oppose the use of the earlier mark by Kerala SRTC. Thus, by applying Section 33 of the Act, the court observed that neither Kerala SRTC could declare Karnataka's registration as invalid nor could Karnataka SRTC oppose the use of an earlier mark.
