Delhi High Court Clarifies Order on ORS Trademark

The Delhi High Court clarified that its earlier order in a trademark dispute involving “ORS” was not a license for companies to continue manufacturing the product. The court explained that its interim relief was limited to preventing unfair advantage or consumer confusion and did not amount to general authorization for continued commercial use. The judgment highlighted the significance of maintaining brand distinctiveness, preventing misuse of generic marks, and ensuring that intellectual property rights are respected even in the case of commonly used medical or nutritional terms.
