Conclusion:
After going through the judgement given by us it and various auto experts and review as it could be understood that there was a slight copy of design by Mahindra for ROXOR and Thar. All the Mahindra is a very reputed automobile company in domestic as well as foreign market they ensure that the new designs were updated and no for the dispute could be taken related to design by any of the foreign company.
By this case we are able to understand that IPR is very important aspect of trade and global market If a company tries to copy design or looks or any other qualifications of a product they are high chances that will lead to market distortion of the other company
that is why every company has sole right under IPR laws to ensure that the designs and any other qualification of the product are not copied by any other company and they both are well protected under the IPR laws the World Intellectual Property organisation undertakes any International dispute between two companies or more than two companies but organisations like us ITC can also take domestic IPR cases or issues as any party approaches to them.🚘🛂📃
