Delhi High Court Orders Removal of 'Purplle Tree' Trademark

The Delhi High Court has directed the removal of the 'Purplle Tree' trademark from the Register of Trade Marks.

This comes after a petition by Manash Lifestyle Private Limited, owner of the beauty and wellness brand 'Purplle,' challenging its registration. 

The company argued that 'Purplle Tree' was deceptively similar to its brand, causing consumer confusion and diluting its trademark. The court found merit in the claim and ordered the cancellation of the 'Purplle Tree' trademark.

The court stated that the mark was adopted with malafide intent and noted that it was registered on a 'proposed to be used' basis without any evidence of actual use.
