Prohibited marks, as defined under Indian statutes, encompass national emblems, offensive imagery, deceptive terms, and crucially, revered religious personalities like Guru Nanak, Swami Vivekananda, and Lord Venkateswara.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:14.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\">&lsquo;Osho Friends&rsquo; argue that the philosopher&rsquo;s name holds comparable sanctity for millions of followers worldwide and deserves similar legal protection. &ldquo;Osho&rsquo;s teachings transcend commerce. Allowing his name to be trademarked would trivialize his spiritual legacy,&rdquo; Senior Advocate Abhishek Malhotra contended during the hearing, drawing parallels between Osho&rsquo;s global influence and the venerated figures already on the prohibited list.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:14.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\">Central to the dispute is the fear of commodification. Prohibited marks are not merely legal categories; they reflect societal values. For instance, terms like &ldquo;Champagne&rdquo; or &ldquo;Darjeeling&rdquo; are guarded as geographical indicators, while religious icons are insulated from commercial misuse to prevent hurt sentiments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:14.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\">The petitioner emphasized that Osho, born Chandra Mohan Jain, evolved into a spiritual icon whose discourses on mindfulness and self-awareness attracted a devoted following akin to organized religious movements. &ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t about ownership; it&rsquo;s about preventing dilution,&rdquo; a member of Osho Friends had observed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:14.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\">The Trademark Registry&rsquo;s stance remains pivotal. It is an attested fact that the Registry has barred trademarks involving figures like Sai Baba or Sikh Gurus to respect communal harmony. <\/span><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial-BoldMT\"><strong>If &ldquo;Osho&rdquo; is added to this list, it would set a precedent for protecting modern spiritual leaders whose influence rivals traditional religious entities.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\"> However, the path is contentious. The Registry must weigh the philosopher&rsquo;s secular teachings against claims of religious equivalence.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:14.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\">Ironically, &lsquo;Osho Friends&rsquo; itself is entangled in a separate legal skirmish with the Osho International Foundation (OIF) over copyrights to his works, <\/span><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial-BoldMT\"><strong>underscoring the complex tussle between preserving legacy and intellectual property rights<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\">. While OIF has historically controlled publishing rights, the current petition reveals a broader ideological clash: <\/span><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial-BoldMT\"><strong>Should a spiritual leader&rsquo;s name be treated as a brand or a shared cultural heritage?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:14.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\">Legal experts suggest the case could redefine boundaries. &ldquo;Trademark law isn&rsquo;t static. As societal reverence evolves, so must its protections,&rdquo; noted intellectual property scholar Rhea Menon. <\/span><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial-BoldMT\"><strong>The court&rsquo;s eventual ruling may hinge on whether Osho&rsquo;s teachings are viewed as a philosophy or a quasi-religious movement; a distinction with profound implications. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <hr \/>\n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:14.7px\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><span style=\"font-size:14.67px\">Source: NEWS.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bid to protect the legacy of spiritual leader Osho, &lsquo;Osho Friends International&rsquo;, a global collective of his disciples, urged authorities to block trademark registrations of the name &ldquo;Osho.&rdquo; Justice Saurabh Banerjee of Delhi High Court , presiding over the case, directed the Central government and the Trademark Registry to respond to the plea, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":136,"featured_media":10123,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-high-courts"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
