In this
tidbit, we blogged about a
local Court in Gurgaon granting an ex-parte interim injunction against Viacom 18 Pvt Ltd., restraining them from using the trademark ‘Nautanki’ and the accompanying logo last week(as reported here).
The Great Indian Nautanki Company Private Limited (GINC), which runs the entertainment project 'Kingdom Of Dreams' in Gurgaon had filed a lawsuit against Viacom for infringing their trademark ‘Nautanki’. Viacom produces a successful comedy show ‘Nautanki - The Comedy Theatre’ which is aired on Colors channel on Indian television.
Subsequent to our post we received information through comments posted by readers, that the matter was later withdrawn by the plaintiff. We managed to obtain a copy of the order dated 26th March affirming the same. The order dismissed the suit as having been withdrawn, in view of the permission sought by the plaintiff for the same.
