by · Inc42

SUMMARY

  • The Madras High Court has restrained Matrimony.com from using Jodii after finding it deceptively similar to FreeElective Network’s registered Jodi365 trademark
  • The division bench overturned a 2022 ruling that allowed Matrimony.com to continue using the name, forcing it to discontinue one of its matchmaking brands or change its name unless the order is stayed or reversed
  • The court granted FreeElective injunctive relief and ordered Matrimony.com to surrender infringing materials for destruction but rejected the former’s ₹1 Cr damages claim
