The Delhi High Court has granted an ex-parte interim injunction restraining the use of “Hotel Jerome’s Holiday Inn”, “Holiday Inn” or any deceptively similar mark in relation to hotel services.

In Six Continents Hotels, Inc. v. Mr. Jerome Fernandes (CS(COMM) 887/2026), the Court found that the plaintiff had established a prima facie case and restrained the defendant from using the impugned marks, including by directing the removal of related hotel advertisements and listings from third-party platforms. The order underscores the protection afforded to well-known trademarks against unauthorised use that may create an association with established brands.
