Chandigarh: Taking cognizance of a petition filed by the directors and stakeholders of ‘National Institute of Fashion Design’ (NIFD), Chandigarh, the Punjab and Haryana high court has restraint the other party from using the name ‘NIFD’ or from using the trademark ‘INIFD’, owned by the petitioners.
Justice Gurbir Singh of the HC passed these orders while hearing a petition filed by NIFD Institute of Fashion Design Limited (INIFD) and others against Nurturing Ideas for Design Private Limited and others.
“The respondents are restrained from using the name ‘NIFD’ or trademark ‘INIFD’ or any deceptively similar name in any form including nomenclature, logos, advertisement campaigns, till the next date of hearing. However, respondents are free to admit the students without using the above-said trademark of the petitioners in any manner,” the bench observed in its order released on Thursday.
The matter has now been adjourned for July 10 for further hearing.
The petitioners in this case have approached with the grievance that the petitioner company NIFD, with its trademark ‘INIFD’, has been incorporated at Chandigarh, and has been operating since 1997. The petitioner company alone has been the owner of the trademark ‘INIFD’ or name NIFD, or get up, trade-dress INIFD and it has been carrying out its advertisement campaigns with topmost film celebrities, whom the petitioners have been engaging for their advertisement campaigns. Petitioners have been running classes and academic sessions through NIFD throughout the country for the last 27 years and more than 20,000 students have passed out.
Counsel for the petitioners, advocate Amar Vivek submitted that the respondents have also been part of the petitioner company earlier. However, they in a stealthy and deceptive manner got incorporated themselves in the month of Dec 2023, as a company in Goa, by the name ‘Nurturing-Ideas For Design Private Limited’, thus borrowing the each of the first letter of petitioner’s name N-I-F-D. It has also been said the respondents and their contacts including Anil Khosla, and Sanjay Tomar, both of whom were earlier linked to the petitioners, have now been actively participating in the respondent company’s affairs and have dishonestly been using the credentials of the petitioners.
