Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the Intellectual Property Appellate Board's order to remove the trademark 'Infosys' from the register, citing provisions under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. The Court established that a registered trademark can be removed if it is not used for a continuous period of five years, as per Section 47 of the Act. The Court upheld the IPAB's decision, affirming that the appellant failed to demonstrate continuous use of the trademark, leading to its removal from the register.
