Delhi HC upholds injunction order stopping luggage-maker VIP from using ‘Carlton' mark
A division bench of the Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed appeals challenging an injunction order against Indian luggage manufacturer VIP Industries from using the mark 'Carlton'. A division bench of Justices C Hari Shankar and Ajay Digpaul upheld a single judge's order of July 17, 2023, ruling that Carlton Shoes Limited (CSL) had 'goodwill of the CARLTON mark, as used by it in India, prior to the commencement of user of the CARLTON mark by VIP in 2006'. A single judge order of July 17, 2023, dealing with cross suits of infringement by Carlton Shoes Ltd (CSL), incorporated in UK in 1992, and VIP Industries had injuncted VIP from using the 'Carlton' mark in respect of goods covered by Class 18 and had rejected VIP's application for a similar injunction against CSL. Class 18 pertains to leather and imitations of leather, and goods made of these materials, and not included in other classes. In 2019, VIP had issued a legal notice to CSL, objecting to the use of 'Carlton' for bags, which VIP claimed to have been using for its bags and suitcases and other such items since 2006. VIP had contended that it had been using the 'Carlton' mark for luggage, or travel luggage, and enjoyed the goodwill in the said mark for over 15 years, whereas CSL had never used the 'Carlton' mark for luggage till 2019. It was argued that the goodwill earned by CSL in the 'Carlton' mark, by then, was only with respect to its use for footwear, and the goodwill earned by CSL by such use would not entitle them to maintain an action for passing off against VIP, even though there were some stray sales, by CSL, of Carlton purses and handbags. Both CSL and VIP possess registrations of the mark 'Carlton' in Class 18. The bench, deciding the appeals, framed the legal question: whether goodwill, for the purposes of determining a 'passing off' action, is of a mark, or of a mark in respect of particular goods or category of goods. The bench ruled that 'the goodwill that is required to be established in order to sustain a claim of passing off is goodwill in the mark, and not goodwill in the mark as used for any particular goods or services.' Noting that the finding that 'CSL having proved the existence of goodwill and reputation of the CARLTON mark, as used by it for more than 13 years prior to the commencement of user of the CARLTON mark by VIP for travel luggage, therefore, does not brook interference,' the court dismissed VIP's appeals.

Newsboy's nap and selections for Chelmsford and 4 other meetings on Sunday
Newsboy's Nap selection for Sunday, June 1, is the James Owen-trained Carlton (4.00) at Chelmsford. His next best is Fakenham runner Gone In Sixty (5.05) CARLTON (4.45, nap) gets the vote to defend his unbeaten record at Chelmsford City with a win in the Sky Bet Extra Places Handicap at the Essex Showground on Sunday. James Owen's son of Frankel won his fifth race there from as many visits to the all-weather track with a length-and-a-quarter defeat of Son Of Red last time out last month. And the mount of Callum Shepherd looks capable of defying a 3lb rise in the weights. Over the jumps at Fakenham, play the numbers game with GONE IN SIXTY (5.05, nb) in the Racing TV Female Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle. The ride of Alice Stevens is admittedly a long-standing maiden but ran with credit when third at Bangor 15 days ago. The bay gelding now comes into this contest on a career-low mark and is ready to finally get into black type.
