Bombay High Court on Tuesday rejected Atyati’s interim relief plea to restrain Cognizant Technology Solutions US Corp and Cognizant Technology Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. from using its ‘C’ logo in India based on copyright infringement allegations.
Concluding the case raised by Atyati against Cognizant on apparent copying of the hexagonal ‘C’ logo, Justice Sharmila Deshmukh stated that Cognizant has established independent creation of the logo, leading the claim for copyright infringement to “fail.”
Atyati also raised concerns that the latter’s larger global popularity would “swamp” Atyati’s presence in the market.
However, the court ruled that there is a distinct separation in the nature and scale of the services offered and the class of customers who avail of them. As such, there is no likelihood of any confusion between the two companies. Accordingly, the plea was dismissed.
