Delhi High Court Restrains Patna Firm from Using 'Nintendo' Trademark
The Delhi High Court has issued an interim order restraining a Patna-based real estate company named Nintendo India Private Limited from using the 'Nintendo' name, ruling it infringes on the trademark rights of Japanese gaming company Nintendo Co. Ltd. The court found the real estate firm's name deceptively similar and likely to confuse the public, noting Nintendo's longstanding global reputation since 1889. Despite a cease-and-desist notice, the dispute continued, leading to the court's intervention to protect Nintendo's trademark.
