The Delhi High Court on Friday (February 7, 2025) restrained a journalist from hosting an award event in the name of “Ratan Tata National Icon Award” or use “Tata” and “Tata Trusts” trademarks.
The court passed the order after one Rajat Srivastava, founder of Delhi Today Group, agreed not to use Ratan Tata’s name and refrain from proceeding with the award event under Ratan Tata’s name.
“This court notes that Tata is a well-known mark. Late Mr Ratan Tata is a well known figure. His name itself is liable to be protected,” the court said.
