Saikrishna victors Audi TT over TT Textiles after Delhi HC outright ban

Saikrishna & Associates managing partner Saikrishna Rajagopal won an order from the Delhi high court, modifying its earlier trademark injunction against German auto maker Audi from using the “TT” trademark, which was also used by Delhi-based garment maker TT Textiles. The Delhi high court modified its order to exclude merchandise related to the Audi TT, TTRS and TTS ranges of cars from the ambit of the earlier injunction, though the injunction remains in effect over class 18 leather goods and clothing, according to a person with knowledge of the case. TT Textiles had filed a trademark infringement suit claiming damages for Rs 25 lakh against Audi for “selling car and the related accessories with the mark ‘TT’ clandestinely in Delhi”, with the court ordering an injunction against the auto maker. The next hearing on the substance of the ban in other categories will be argued in December.
