DELHI HC FINES INDIVIDUAL HEAVILY FOR INFRINGING TAJ HOTELS' IP RIGHTS

The Delhi HC recently exacted a fine of ₹15 lakh from a man whose company infringed the trademark and copyright linked to Tata's Taj Hotels. The court noted that the defendant, Manoj, was using the trademark 'Taj', which is registered with the Taj Hotels, to promote his own business, 'Taj Iconic Membership.'
The court also noted that the defendant was continuously using the logo, photographs, and other content available on Taj Hotel's website and had spent huge amounts of money on designing, advertising, and promoting the said marks.
The Court also mentioned that, in addition to infringing on Taj's marks and photographs, Manoj committed criminal acts by pretending to be the plaintiff and deceiving a jeweller into giving him ₹51 lakh worth of hundred gold coins.

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.
