Hilton International Corp has said it has been adequately protected from using the trade mark ‘Hilton’ for carrying on its business in India. In a statement, Hilton clarified its Special Leave Petition was dismissed on its consent and the Supreme Court noted that its concern was adequately protected by the Rajasthan High Court.Hilton filed the Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court requesting clarity about the construction of the Rajasthan High Court order due to unclear media reports regarding the impact of the order. At a hearing held on July 11, Hilton Worldwide suggested that the Supreme Court could dismiss the Special Leave Petition if the Supreme Court confirmed that the High Court’s order did not affect Hilton Worldwide’s right to continue using the HILTON trademark in India. The Supreme Court observed that Hilton Worldwide has been “adequately protected by the High Court” providing Hilton Worldwide with the clarification it was seeking. With this clarification, Hilton Worldwide consented to the dismissal of its petition. Hilton said the order passed by the Supreme Court vindicates Hilton Worldwide’s stand that the District Court decision cannot be used to interfere with Hilton Worldwide’s right to use its 90 year old HILTON mark in India. Additionally the Rajasthan High Court order, stating that the District Court’s decision did not quash or enjoin the HILTON trademark registration and that Hilton Worldwide is allowed to continue to conduct its business under its registered mark in India, protects Hilton Worldwide’s interests and was not interfered with by the Supreme Court.”On going through the impugned order (of the High Court), we find that the petitioners have been adequately protected by the High Court. We, therefore, see no reason to interfere in the matter. The SLP is dismissed,” the apex court said, according to a PTI report.
