Trademark Case: HC refuses to stay order against Google
New Delhi: The division bench of the Delhi High Court on Friday refused to stay its single-judge judgment in a trademark infringement case that held US-headquartered technology firm Google liable for allowing advertisers to bid on sanitaryware manufacturer Hindware’s registered trademark as a keyword on its platform.
However, the division bench of justices V Kameswar Rao and Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora sought response from Hindware on an appeal by Google and Google India, which according to the single judge, had infringed other companies’ trademark, including sanitaryware firms’, through its Google Ads programme.
