We are thrilled to share Intellectual Property (IP) highlights from the final quarter of 2024, showcasing a perfect balance between tradition and innovation.

The last three months of the year 2024 saw significant developments in the sector, including trade mark and patent infringement cases, as well as the recognition of 'well-known' trademarks and geographical indication tags. The quarter witnessed several globally recognised brands fiercely defending their marks with LEGO prevailing against entity selling confectionary products; IndiGo alleging infringement over Mahindra's use of the similar alphanumerical to its "6E" mark, and Britannia reinforcing rights over its "Good Day". Alongside this, tradition also took a centre stage as Gharchola sarees and Assamese heritage secured GI recognition, blending cultural pride with contemporary relevance.

Open AI OpCo LLC, Justice Amit Bansal declined to grant an interim injunction against OpenAI, holding, on a prima facie, interim stage view, that the company’s use of ANI’s news content to train its large language models (“LLMs”) falls within the fair dealing exception under Section 52(1)(a) of the Copyright Act, 1957

On 8 October 2026, USA Today Co. and its affiliated newspaper companies, which publish 19 titles including USA Today, the Detroit Free Press and The Arizona Republic, sued seven OpenAI entities in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that OpenAI copied their journalism to train its models, stripped identifying information from it, and now uses those models to give ChatGPT users summaries that substitute for the original reporting. The publishers seek more than USD 250 million in damages, an injunction and an order for the destruction of models and training sets containing their content.
