HC Explains Issue of Dynamic + Injunction and Domain Names
The Dynamic+ injunction would apply under the following circumstances: (i) Wherever the brand/trademark appears as it is in the domain name; (ii) Wherever brand/trademark appears with a prefix or suffix which could lead to confusion; (iii) Wherever the brand/trademark appears as an alphanumeric variation. It was also held that any misuse of domain names by registration of fraudulent domain names and creation of fake websites results in erosion of the integrity and goodwill of the business house and name, as also leads to consumer deception.
