Delhi High Court Upholds Patanjali's 'Gonyle' Trademark, Dismisses Challenge

• Delhi High Court rejected Holy Cow Foundation's petition to cancel Patanjali's 'Gonyle' floor cleaner trademark.
• Holy Cow Foundation claimed prior use of 'Gaunyle' and accused Patanjali of bad-faith copying, citing phonetic and visual similarity.
• Justice Tejas Karia ruled that Patanjali's full product name, including 'Patanjali', sufficiently differentiated it, preventing consumer confusion.
• The court found serious flaws and inconsistencies in the evidence presented by Holy Cow Foundation regarding its prior use.
• Patanjali successfully argued its long-term use of 'Gonyle' and the strength of its brand prevented confusion, acting in good faith.

Why It Matters: Delhi High Court affirmed Patanjali's 'Gonyle' trademark, citing distinct branding and unreliable evidence from the petitioner.
