Delhi High Court Denies Ravi Mohan Studios Use of Film Title 'Bro Code'
Imagine two companies both wanting to use the same name, 'Bro Code.'
One company sells a drink with that name, and it's been around for a while.
The other company, owned by an actor named Ravi Mohan, wants to use 'Bro Code' for a movie.
The company that sells the drink sued Ravi Mohan's company because they were worried people would get confused.
A court agreed with the drink company and told Ravi Mohan's company they couldn't use the name for their movie.
Ravi Mohan's company asked the court to change its mind, but the judge said no, they still can't use the name.
The drink company also thinks Ravi Mohan's company didn't follow the first order, so they asked the court to punish them.
Delhi High Court refused to lift an interim injunction against Ravi Mohan Studios using the film title 'Bro Code'.
The injunction was granted following a trademark infringement suit filed by Indospirit Beverages Private Limited, who own the 'BRO CODE' beverage brand.
Indospirit claims the film title infringes on their beverage brand and could cause consumer confusion.
The court initially barred Ravi Mohan Studios from using the title on October 14, citing potential dilution of brand goodwill.
Indospirit has also filed a contempt petition against Ravi Mohan for alleged non-compliance with the court's order.
