👨‍⚕️🏥 Dr. Reddys Laboratories Ltd. v. Fast Cure Pharma 2023

Sections 47, 57, and 124 of the Trademarks Act, 1999 talk about the revocation, rectification, and the procedural hearing of such trademark suits.

Issues- the contention before the court was whether the said petition of removal and rectification would lie to the Delhi High Court, where the infringement took place, or to the Calcutta High Court, where the trademark of the respondent was registered. Therefore, the issue of territorial jurisdiction was presented before the court

The court, following the principle of “est exclusio alterius”, observed that the Trademark Act of 1999 neither expressly approves nor excludes any High Court from taking up the matter related to alteration under sections 47, 57 and 124. Also, going by the general definition of the “High Court” under the General Clauses Act, the court negated the claim that only the Calcutta High Court would have jurisdiction over the case.

Dynamic Effects of Registration

The principle of the dynamic effect of registration basically embodies that the jurisdiction would not be limited to the territoriality of the registration. It states that since the substantial matter in the case includes the issue of registration as well as the infringement of the trademark, a dynamic approach has to be taken to resolve it. Therefore, rather than sticking to the principle of territorial jurisdiction of registration, the dynamic effect also allows the trademark owner to file the suit for the infringement, where the actual infringement took place

The court relied on the case of Girdhari Lal Gupta v. K. Gian Chand & Co[3], wherein it was held that “the application could be made either before the High Court having jurisdiction over the office of the Controller of Designs which granted registration to the design or any High Court within whose jurisdiction the “dynamic effect” of the registration could be felt.

Understanding Of People's Problems Makes Us Better Lawyers And Judges, Not Just Legal Knowledge : CJI DY Chandrachud

“I believe decision-making is somewhat like, to borrow the words of a distinguished scholar, riding a bicycle. If you are teetering out of control, it is unlikely that a complicated theory will help you restore the balance. In the moments of imbalance, we are unlikely to find solutions in very complicated, theoretical statements of the law or policy. The stabilising influence in such moments of crisis is often a very simple idea of justice. The strength of a simple idea lies in the fact that it comes from the vast experience of a judge as a lawyer, as a student of the law, and as a discerning, observing member of the society.”

🤔 Fact on leap year 😉

The Gregorian Calendar was then introduced on October 4th 1582 and, to realign it to the Julian Calendar, it was necessary to eliminate ten days by passing directly to October 15. And therefore from 5 to 14 October no one was born, no one died. Nothing happened.

Leap year on every year divisible by 4 and 400 but not every 100 year due to 365.2422 days in a revolution (not a round figure) so Yes 2000 was an Amazing Year which was divisible by 400.
