Delhi High Court Grants Ex-Parte Injunction Against Bhiwadi School Over Deceptively Similar ‘DPS’ Name & Logo

The Delhi High Court has restrained a Bhiwadi-based school from using the marks ‘Delhi Public School’, ‘DPS’, and a deceptively similar logo, granting an ex parte injunction in favour of the Delhi Public School Society.

The Court held that the defendants' use of identical names, crest elements, and domain amounted to dishonest adoption, creating a clear likelihood of confusion.

Given DPS’s well-known trademark status and strong prima facie case, the Court directed immediate suspension of the impugned domain and barred further use of the marks.
