Delhi High Court Issues Notice to BCCI Over Use of 'Champak' Name in IPL

The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the BCCI after the publisher of the children's magazine 'Champak' filed a trademark infringement suit over the use of the name for a robotic dog in the IPL. The next hearing is scheduled for July 9.

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..
