1. Delhi High Court restrains use of GODFATHER whisky brand

The Hon’ble Delhi High Court has restrained the launch of “Glenwalk Godfather” whisky in a trademark infringement action filed by Devans Modern Breweries. The Court found prima facie conflict with the existing “Godfather” mark and granted interim protection.

Takeaway

Even addition of prefixes or brand extensions will not save a mark if the dominant part is identical.

Advisory

Always assess the dominant element of a mark before adopting brand extensions. Prefix or suffix additions do not dilute infringement risk.
