Delhi HC Rejects Second BOAT vs BOULT Injunction Bid
Imagine Marketing's second attempt to secure an interim injunction against the bare wordmark BOULT has been dismissed by the Delhi High Court. Justice Jyoti Singh ruled that a plaintiff cannot repeatedly seek the same relief without demonstrating changed circumstances or undue hardship. The court clarified that a six-year-old order cannot be reopened simply because a later Bench made a passing observation. This decision reinforces the principle of issue estoppel in trademark litigation, preventing endless interim disputes and ensuring defendants receive finality regarding the scope of judicial restraints during active trials.
