Karnataka High Court Restores Yezdi Trademark to Classic Legends
The Karnataka High Court has decided that Classic Legends can use the Yezdi trademark.
This is a big win for Boman Irani, who has been fighting to keep the Yezdi brand alive.
The Yezdi brand has a long history and is very important to many people.
The court said that trademarks are not like physical things; they depend on how they are used and renewed.
Classic Legends is a company that makes Yezdi motorcycles.
Mahindra & Mahindra and other investors helped bring the brand back to life in 2018.
The court's decision means that Classic Legends can continue to use the Yezdi name, which is good news for fans of the brand.
Karnataka High Court ruled in favor of Classic Legends in the Yezdi trademark dispute, overturning a 2022 order.
The court found that Boman Irani's registrations for the Yezdi brand are valid and comply with the Trade Marks Act.
Classic Legends, which manufactures Yezdi motorcycles, celebrated the victory as a landmark moment.
The Yezdi brand has a long history and is tied to the Parsi family legacy in Iran.
Mahindra & Mahindra owns a 60% stake in Classic Legends, with the rest held by Phi Capital and Boman Irani.
