Delhi High Court to Hear Mohak Mangal’s Plea To Transfer ANI's Copyright Suit Before IP Division Bench

The Delhi High Court listed YouTuber Mohak Mangal’s plea seeking transfer of the copyright and trademark infringement suit filed against him by Asian News International (ANI) from Patiala House Court to the High Court's Intellectual Property (IP) Division.

Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani referred the matter to a coordinate bench of the IP Division, noting that Rule 26 of the Delhi High Court Intellectual Property Rights Division Rules, 2022, permits consolidation of related IPR proceedings.

As per the Rule, where there are multiple proceedings relating to the same or related IPR matter, the Court can direct consolidation of proceedings.

The plea will now be heard on Friday. (Mohak Mangal v. ANI Media Pvt. Ltd. & Anr.)
