Singh & Singh Law Firm LLP Files Lawsuit Against Singh and Singh Attorneys
Singh & Singh Law Firm LLP, a renowned legal entity established in 1997 under the trademark “Singh & Singh”, has taken legal action against Singh and Singh Attorneys, a law firm based in South Africa. The dispute centers around the similarity in their trademarks and services.
Singh & Singh Law Firm LLP, subsequently in 2005, adopted another trademark “Singh & Singh Advocates”. On the other hand, Singh and Singh Attorneys, based in South Africa, operate under the trademark/name “Singh and Singh Attorneys” and maintain an active website accessible in India via "https://singhlaw.co.za/," registered in the name of Defendant No. 1 on October 15, 2021. Defendant No. 2 is the owner/founder of Singh and Singh Attorneys.
In a recent ruling dated May 29, 2021, by the High Court of Delhi, presided over by Hon'ble Judge Sanjeev Narula, a preliminary assessment has been made regarding the case (Case No. CS Comm 466 of 2024). The court has observed that the marks used by both parties are identical and are being employed for similar services, targeting the same consumer base.
The court noted the extensive digital presence and global reputation of Singh & Singh Law Firm LLP, highlighting its clientele not only in India but also in South Africa. This assessment suggests that Singh & Singh Law Firm LLP's legal practice transcends geographical boundaries, indicating potential overlap with Singh and Singh Attorneys' operations.
The ruling implies that Singh & Singh Law Firm LLP has a strong prima facie case due to the substantial digital footprint and global reputation it enjoys.
