• Confusion with the clients wanting to
place their ads

• Defendant printing, publishing and
distributing for sale of ‘TAS’ by using the
words ‘now in Hindi also a News
Magazine of International standards’
• This implied that it was merely a language
extension of the plaintiff’s magazine

THE VERDICT

TIME Incorporated
versus

LOKESH Srivastava

• ‘TAS’ an unauthorised imitation of the plaintiff’s ‘reputed trademark’
• Defendant’s effort to create confusion in the minds of the readers and to get undue
financial advantages were identified

• 12.5 lacs damages not awarded: Basis of damage could not be provided
• 5 lacs for Loss of Reputation awarded: loss of reputation, goodwill and low
impression on readers
• 5 lacs punitive damages awarded : ‘to discourage and dishearten law breakers’
• Court especially mentions the purpose of punitive damages as to reduce the
profits by the illegal activity and to send a strong message to other potential law
breakers
GROUP ANALYSIS

TIME Incorporated
versus

LOKESH Srivastava

• Even though the case could not validate the monetary losses due to intangibles
like goodwill and reputation, the verdict sent out a strong message to people
who blatantly copy product names and identity
• There is confusion in the minds of the customer as automatic associations are
made to the more established brand _ Any disappointment with respect to the
quality of content is reflected as consumers badmouth the original brand

• ‘Me too brands’ like ‘Sonny’ and ‘Filips’ dilute existing brand names and the
significance they hold
• In this case, even though the court had trouble deciding, the punitive action was
taken on the grounds of clauses of the trademarks act
