MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Thursday remanded a trademark dispute involving German automobile giant Audi AG to the senior examiner of trade marks in Mumbai for fresh consideration of its ‘Q6’ series trademark registration. HC backs Audi ‘Q6’ trademark registration, questions rationale behind rejection The dispute arose from a September 2, 2021, order by the senior examiner of trade marks, which had refused the registration of the ‘Q6’ trademark under Audi’s classes 9 and 12. Advocates Karan Khiani, Rohan Lopes, and Shubham Shende, representing Audi AG, argued that ample evidence had been submitted to support the trademark’s registration. Countering this, advocates Yashodeep P Deshmukh and Vaidehi Pradeep, representing the senior examiner of trade marks, defended the refusal, citing non-distinctiveness under section 9 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
