Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the Delhi High Court under Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act, 1957, in a suit concerning the trademark 'Maloxine'. The Court held that the High Court had jurisdiction as the appellants conducted business in Delhi and the alleged infringement occurred within its territory. The Court emphasized the importance of territorial jurisdiction in copyright and trademark disputes, affirming the lower court's interim orders in favor of the appellants.
