The Indian firm said they chose the trademark HM as alphabets of the proprietor's name -- Hashim Merchant and that in 2011, H&M had no recognition in India.
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has restrained an Indian firm from using the trade name 'HM' or any other deceptive variation which is similar to Swedish fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz (H&M).
The court, while granting time to Indian firm HM Megabrands Pvt Ltd and its proprietors to stop use of the mark and commence its business under an alternative mark, said the order of interim injunction should be made operative with effect from July 9.
