Trademark violation: Cookware producer files complaint against another company

Tribune News Service

Jalandhar, June 16

A prominent cookware manufacturer from the city has lodged a complaint with the city police for the misuse of his trademark by another company.

In his complaint, Paramjit Singh Bhatia, partner in Heera Industries, Preet Nagar, said that he was the manufacturer of cookware, pressure cooker, non-stick and hard anodised ware. He said that he was running his industry for the past 45 years and selling these items under the registered trademark ‘Black Magnum’.

“Since I have got my trademark and logo registered with the authorities, no other person or manufacturer can use it in an unauthorised manner. I have a good turnover with my items being sold in India and abroad. I get my manuals and packing material printed from two authorised printers— Yogesh Kumar of Dhan Mohalla and Harpreet Singh of Every Shine Printer. About 25 days ago, Harpreet Singh visited a cutter shop for some job work and found my manuals with logos getting printed by someone else. No authorised printer of mine had given him my manuals for cutting at that time. Harpreet reported the matter to me. After making some enquiries, I have lodged a police complaint on the matter at the police station division number 8”, said Bhatia.

Bhatia said that the cops had assured him of thorough inquiry to nab the wrong doers and taking timely action.
