Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Karnataka High Court's decision that had set aside the trial court's decree in favor of Renaissance Hotel Holdings Inc. The court ruled that the use of the trade mark 'SAI RENAISSANCE' by the respondents was likely to cause confusion with the appellant's established mark 'RENAISSANCE'. The judgment reinstated the trial court's order for permanent injunction and damages against the respondents.
