Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Intellectual Property Appellate Board's order removing the trademark 'Infosys' from the register. The Court emphasized the importance of trademark protection under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, particularly Sections 9 and 30, which govern the registration and infringement of trademarks. The Court held that the appellant, Infosys Technologies Limited, had established prior use and reputation of the mark, thus reversing the IPAB's decision and reinstating the trademark registration.
