The Delhi High Court has restrained a Lucknow based news website from using the marks “CNN City News Network” or “CNN” in a trademark infringement suit filed by CNN news channel. Justice C Hari Shankar directed the defendant entity, City News Network' to remove or disband its website and three other social media pages. Cable News Network INC filed the suit against City News Network and another entity alleging infringement of its well known trademark “CNN” by them. While the matter was settled with the second entity, City News Network remained unrepresented in the proceedings. A viewer would clearly associate the mark “CNN” with the plaintiff,” the court said.
