In Indospirit Beverages Pvt. Ltd. v. Ravi Mohan Studios Pvt. Ltd. (CS(COMM) 1104/2025), the Delhi High Court granted an interim injunction restraining the production house from using “BRO CODE” as the title of its upcoming film.

The Court found that the studio’s adoption of an identical title was likely to mislead consumers and take unfair advantage of the well-established BROCODE beverage brand, which has gained substantial recognition through marketing efforts and digital content with millions of views.

Rejecting arguments based on registration gaps and a prior Madras High Court order on groundless threats, the Court held that once an infringement suit is filed, such objections cannot limit the jurisdiction to grant appropriate relief.
