MUMBAI, Aug. 30 -- The Bombay High Court on Tuesday restrained US-based IT services major Cognizant Technology Solutions from using its device mark or logo in India until the conclusion of a trademark infringement suit filed against it by Bengaluru-based Atyati Technologies. A division bench of chief justice Alok Aradhe and justice Sandeep Marne set aside a single-judge bench's June 2024 order letting Cognizant use its logo while the case was being heard. The division bench restored a March 2024 injunction that had barred Cognizant from using its logo in India until the case concluded. Atyati Technologies sued Cognizant in 2023, alleging copyright and trademark infringement with respect to its logo. Both companies' logos feature a hexagonal honeycomb design. Atyati, which said it had been using its logo since 2019, alleged that Cognizant had infringed on its artistic work by acquiring a similar logo in 2022. It accused Cognizant of passing off, which in legal parlance refers to misleading the public into believing that the goods or services being sold belong to someone else. In March 2024, a single-judge bench of the high court granted temporary relief to Atyati by restraining Cognizant from using its logo in India until the case concluded. Subsequently, Cognizant filed an affidavit in April 2024, seeking the discontinuation of the injunction. The US-based firm said that Atyati had suppressed material facts and made false statements, particularly about its knowledge of Cognizant's adoption of its logo in 2022. In June 2024, a different single-judge bench of the high court accepted Cognizant's arguments and vacated the injunction, holding that Atyati had suppressed material information from the court. Aggrieved by this, Atyati filed an appeal before a division bench of the high court, challenging the June 13 order....
