Delhi HC orders Meesho to remove fake Jockey listings

The Delhi High Court has ordered e-commerce giant Meesho to remove product listings that allegedly violate the trademark of American innerwear and apparel brand Jockey, according to Bar & Bench.

The interim order was passed by Justice Jyoti Singh on May 29.

The court observed that Jockey had made a prima facie case of trademark infringement against sellers using names deceptively similar to its registered trademark.

'Confusion among consumers can't be ruled out'

The court noted, "The impugned marks are prima facie deceptively similar to JOCKEY, the registered trademark of the Plaintiff (Jockey), and is being used by the Defendants for identical products."

It added that since both parties share common trade channels and consumer bases, confusion among consumers cannot be ruled out.
