Delhi High Court Questions Generational Flow of Family Name Reputation in Bachchan Lawsuit
The Delhi High Court questioned whether the reputation associated with a family name, similar to a trademark, extends across generations during a lawsuit filed by Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan concerning misleading social media content about their daughter, Aaradhya. The court examined if fake news about a minor's health could violate intellectual property rights and considered the duration and scope of such reputational goodwill. The plaintiffs argued that the family's goodwill is intact and must be protected against false information.
