Issues would be framed on June 13.<\/p>\n<p>The judges held that the plaintiff has prima facie proved that the said mark &#8216;RISO&#8217; was honestly and concurrently adopted by them.<br \/>\nThe plaintiff said it had acquired registration of the trademark &#8216;RISO&#8217; on July 27, 2012, and that this registration is valid, subsisting and in force. It also argued that the impugned trademark &#8216;RISO-LITE&#8217; of the defendant was deceptively similar to its mark &#8216;RISO&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Bhuvaneshwar Refineries argued that &#8216;RISO&#8217; was an Italian name for rice and hence it was descriptive in nature and can be freely used by anyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The defendant&#8217;s argument that the word &#8216;RISO&#8217; means rice in Italian\u00a0and hence the same is descriptive in nature, in my opinion does not hold good,&#8221; said Justice Kathawala.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is true that certain words are often borrowed from a foreign language and commonly used in India. However, &#8216;RISO&#8217; is not one such word which is commonly used in India, and cannot be held as descriptive in the Indian context.<\/p>\n<div>&#8220;Therefore, there is a possibility that people buying these products may not be well versed with the Italian meaning of the word &#8216;RISO&#8217; and therefore it cannot be said that the said mark &#8216;RISO&#8217; is descriptive in nature&#8221;, Kathawala said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thus I am of the prima facie view that the said disclaimer on the registration of the plaintiff&#8217;s mark does not apply to the word &#8216;RISO&#8217; in the present case,&#8221; the judge said.<\/p>\n<div>(Source:PTI<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/oil-company.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"33426\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/bombay-high-court-restrains-oil-company\/oil-company\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/05\/oil-company.jpg?fit=310%2C233&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"310,233\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"oil company\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/05\/oil-company.jpg?fit=150%2C112&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/05\/oil-company.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-33426\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.in\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/oil-company-300x225.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"oil company\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/05\/oil-company.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/05\/oil-company.jpg?resize=150%2C112&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/05\/oil-company.jpg?w=310&amp;ssl=1 310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bombay High Court has restrained an edible oil company from using trademark &#8216;RISO-LITE&#8217;
