All targeting AI deepfakes.

Perception of bias is bias — in a court of law. A Delhi HC recusal plea has reopened India's most uncomfortable legal conversation: No mandatory family disclosure by judges, No independent empanelment oversight, No codified recusal framework #Kejriwal#LegalReform#Judiciary#Law
Patent expired. Generic launched. And then four letters stopped everything. Delhi HC halts Dr. Reddy's "Olymviq" — Novo Nordisk says it sounds too much like "Ozempic." The dispute isn't about the molecule. It's entirely about the brand name. #TrademarkLaw#Ozempic#DelhiHighCourt

🦠 Oxford × Serum Institute sign an IP licence deal for the Nipah virus vaccine candidate (ChAdOx1 NipahB). Mortality rate: up to 70%. Approved vaccines: zero. This is IP licensing doing exactly what it should — getting science out of labs and into arms. #IPLaw#NipahVirus
Bombay HC: You can't monopolize a descriptive mark.
Astro' + 'Dunia' = World of Astrology. That's your service — not your brand.❌ Injunction refused. Tata Play wins.
Descriptive marks don't get court protection. Build distinctive ones. #TrademarkLaw#BombayHighCourt#IPLaw
#Lacoste wins a 20+ year trademark battle in India. Delhi HC rules against Crocodile International: Logo = deceptively similar infringement confirmed; Asian co-existence deal = not valid in India; Accounting of profits from 1998 ordered; Passing off rejected — goodwill not proven

Galgotias prof's unauthorized press soundbites defending Chinese robot dog at India AI Summit? Registrar says "no authorization." Showcasing imports over Indian innovation at Make in India event? Exhibit what we BUILD, not what we buy. #MakeInIndia#GalgotiasUniversity
Delhi HC restrains Ilaiyaraaja from exploiting Saregama's music across 134 films! Producer assignments > composer moral rights for commercial use. Strategic IP structuring beats cost-cutting filings every time. #IPLaw#CopyrightLaw#DelhiHighCourt
Madras HC: Int. reputation alone won't give you trademark rights in India. 7-Eleven lost "Big Bite" to local Indian company despite 30+ years of global use.
Why? No actual sales in India vs competitor's genuine market presence since 2004 Lesson: Market presence > Global fame 🇮🇳

Delhi HC: You can't monopolize "A TO Z." Alkem Laboratories denied trademark protection—Court held the phrase is descriptive, lacks distinctiveness, and belongs in the public domain. Key lesson: Descriptive terms are weak. Choose invented or arbitrary marks for real protection.
