The Delhi High court reiterated that “The fact that the parties are operating in different lines of business may not be a good defense in an action brought by the Proprietor of a well-known mark.

The possibility of confusion being caused in the minds of an average consumer in the countries other than the country of origin has to be acknowledged.”
