K. NARAYANAN vs S. MURALI

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' appeals against the High Court's order regarding the trademark 'A-ONE'. The Court emphasized that mere filing of a trademark application does not confer rights to assert infringement, as established in Premier Distilleries Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Sushi Distilleries (2001(3) CTC 652). The Court held that the jurisdiction of the court is not confined by the registration application, reinforcing the principle that a cause of action must exist before a suit can be instituted.
