The Delhi High Court has sent a notice to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after a company complained that the cricket body used their trademarked name without permission.
The company, Delhi Press Patra Prakashan, publishes the well-known children’s magazine ‘Champak’.
They are upset because, during the current IPL season, BCCI introduced a robotic dog named ‘Champak’. The publisher says BCCI used the name without their permission, even though ‘Champak’ is a registered trademark.
The case was heard by Justice Saurabh Banerjee on Wednesday, and the next hearing is set for July 9.
