Lenskart tells Delhi High Court its use of Titan trademark was a mistake

The eyewear retail giant Lenskart has informed the Delhi High Court that its use of the "Titan" trademark on its website was an "inadvertent mistake." The statement was made during the hearing of a trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Titan Company Ltd. Titan had accused Lenskart of using its registered trademark, which is associated with its own eyewear brand, Titan Eyeplus, to divert traffic on its platform. Lenskart's admission of a mistake is a significant development in the case. The company has likely given an undertaking to the court to remove the trademark from its website and to ensure that such an error is not repeated. This case highlights the importance of respecting intellectual property rights in the e-commerce space and the legal consequences of using a competitor's trademark, even if it is claimed to be unintentional.
