ALG Partner Gaurav Bhalla reports in the INTA Bulletin that the High Court of Delhi will hold a hearing on March 2 to decide whether the Trade Marks Registry should automatically add a mark to its List of Well-Known Marks once a court has declared it as Well-Known. Earlier in July, 2020 INTA had, through the Asia Pacific sub-committee (including Gaurav Bhalla) of INTA’s International Amicus Committee, filed an amicus brief in the case, submitting INTA’s position that a mark once declared as well-known by a Court should be included automatically in the list (of well-known marks) and there shouldn’t be any requirement to follow the administrative procedure of applying to the Trade Marks Registry for determination of the mark as well-known.
