Google moves Delhi HC in appeal in case over use of trademark for AdWords

Google has appealed to the Delhi High Court against a ruling that found it guilty of trademark infringement for using the Hindware brand's name as keywords in its AdWords program. The court ordered Google to pay ₹30 lakh in damages and scheduled a hearing for July 24. Google's legal representative argued that the single-judge decision conflicted with global standards and previous rulings. The original judgment stated that using trademarks as keywords gave unfair advantages to competitors and violated the Trademarks Act. It emphasized that Google did not seek permission from Hindware before allowing third parties to use the brand's name as keywords.
