Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision regarding the use of the name 'Skyline' by Satilila Charitable Society, affirming that the appellant, Skyline Education Institute, failed to establish a prima facie case for trademark infringement under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The Court noted that the appellant's claim of goodwill was not substantiated, and the respondents were permitted to continue using the name in their educational activities. The Court emphasized the need for clear evidence of confusion in the marketplace to support claims of trademark violation.
