Naseer Ahmed vs Liberty Footwear Company on 4 December, 2012
129. The plaintiff has armored his arguments with a catena of case
law. The case of Cinni Foundation vs. Raj Kumar Sah & Sons &
Anr. 2009 (41) PTC 320 (DEL) has been relied upon to cite that the
acquisition of title in trade mark is by virtue of assignment deed and
not dependant upon assignment being registered as registration of asĀ
signment is only to place on record the fact that title has been created;
registration by itself does not create title which already stands created
on execution of assignment; assignee immediately on assignment, i.e.,
by writing acquires rights; it is the act of parties which vests the title
and not the registration thereof. In M/s Modi Threads Limited vs.
M/s Som Soot Gola Factory and Anr. AIR 1992 DELHI 4 it has
been held that during pendency of assignment recordial proceedings,
assignee can sue for infringement/passing off.
