Ratan Tata Is Well-Known Personal Name, Needs To Be Protected From Unauthorised Use By Third Party: Delhi High Court
The Delhi High Court has said that the name of industrialist Ratan Tata is a “well- known personal name or trademark” which needs to be protected from any unauthorised use by any third party. Justice Mini Pushkarna ruled in favour of Ratan Tata Trust in a suit filed against a journalist- Dr. Rajat Srivastava, alleging that the latter was unauthorisedly using Ratan Tata's name to host an award ceremony. Decreeing the suit in favour of Ratan Tata Trust, the Court observed that Ratan Tata's name falls in a category, wherein, besides being a personal name, it has attained a distinctive indica of its own. Taking note of Ratan Tata's achievements, the Court observed that it was a clear case of fraud where Srivastava was blatantly misusing Ratan Tata's registered trademarks and his name to defraud the public into paying them nomination fee for the event which the victims otherwise would not have parted with had it not been for the misuse of the said trademarks and well-known personal name.
