However, Prasar Bharti refuted the allegation of similarities in the logo and argued that the exclusive right to the Dish logo cannot be claimed by anyone, as the word is generic. The Delhi High court stated that it is highly possible for consumers to form a misleading opinion that Dish TV is in association with Doordarshan would want the paid channels of Dish TV to also be telecast free.\u00a0 Therefore it granted three months\u2019 time to Prasar Bharti to change its direct to home service\u2019s name and inform its customers<\/p>\n<h2>INTERNATIONAL TRADEMARK UPDATES<\/h2>\n<h3>Kylie Jenner File Trademark for Nail Products<\/h3>\n<p>Kylie Jenner, the 21-year-old American model who is also a successful businesswoman, filed trademarks for her new line of perfumes and designer nail products.

McDonald\u2019s India ended its franchise agreement with Connaught Plaza Restaurants (CPRL) due to non-payment of royalties and now wholly owns the once shut outlets. CPRL was owned by Vikram Bakshi and had operated a chain of McDonalds\u2019s restaurants in north and east India.\u00a0 Now however as a part of the settlement, the US based fast food giant has taken over the ownership of CPRL by buying out Bakshi\u2019s stake.<\/p>\n<h2>GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION UPDATES<\/h2>\n<h3>Jaggery from Marayur Receives GI Tag<\/h3>\n<p>The continuous efforts of the Intellectual Property Rights Cell of the Kerala Agriculture University, has resulted in a GI tag for Marayur Jaggery. Marayur is a district in Kerala known for its intensive sugarcane cultivation without chemicals. It was noticed that jaggery with a salty taste was being marketed as Marayur Jaggery whereas the real Marayur Jaggery is handmade at household units in Marayur and Kanthallur with low levels of saltiness and sodium. The availability of fake Marayur Jaggery in the market was leading to a decline in prices for the product.\u00a0 The GI tag will provide global acceptance to the traditional way of jaggery production and give producers a legal remedy against counterfeiters.<br \/>\n<strong>Authored and compiled by Shreya Chaddha &amp; Uma T.S<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>About BananaIP&#8217;s Trademark Attorneys<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>The Trademark News Bulletin is brought to you by the Trademark\/Copyright, Licensing &amp; Transactions Strategy Divisions of BananaIP Counsels, a Top IP Firm in India.
