KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 (Ogos) -- The High Court here today ruled that Faiza Sdn Bhd cannot use the "ponni" label for its rice products.
Judge Datuk Azahar Mohamed made the ruling after allowing an application by Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority of India (APEDA) an four others to nullify the trademark used by the company.
He also ordered that the Registrar of Trademarks remove Faiza's "ponni" label from its register.
In his judgement, Azahar said 'ponni' rice was produced in the Kaveri Delta in India that Faiza did not have the right to register it as its own trademark.
"To sum up, I concluded that the entry of 'ponni' trade mark in the register of trade marks in Malaysia is an entry wrongfully made and wrongfully remaining in the registry.
