Supreme Court of India orders for fast-tracking IPR cases

In a significant decision given by the Supreme Court of India recently, it has been held that the matters relating to Trademarks, copyrights and patents should be decided by the trial courts very expeditiously. This judgment is very important as it will instill sense of confidence of multinational companies in the Indian judicial system for Redressal of their grievances relating to instances of infringement and passing off of their intellectual property rights. They will have a confidence that their cases relating to IPRs would be decided expeditiously and they would not have to wait for several months and years to get a judgment in their case. The case is reported as M/s Shree Vardhman Rice & General mills vs M/s Amar Singh Chawalwala. For complete text of this judgment, you may email me at sg@sgsolicitors.com.
