Partner, Zeeshan A. Khan and Associate, Saumya Agarwal have recently authored an article titled, ‘Jurisdiction in Trademark Infringement Cases’.
The article provides insights on how the Delhi High Court has re-examined and reshaped the law on territorial jurisdiction in trademark infringement suits, particularly in cases involving registered trademarks, licensing or marketing agreements, and online marketplaces. Through an analysis of M/s Kohinoor Seed Fields India Pvt Ltd v. M/s Veda Seed Sciences Pvt Ltd, it highlights the Court’s departure from rigid jurisdictional formulas and its move towards a more purposive, commercially attuned approach to determining where infringement actions may be instituted.
