Mumbai: Vistara, the Tata-Singapore Airlines joint venture, has moved the Karnataka High Court in a legal battle with a travel agent over trademark.
The airline filed a petition in the court in December challenging a lower court's jurisdiction to hear a suit that sought to restrain it from using the Vistara trademark. The petition will come up for hearing on Tuesday.
Last August, Tata-Singapore Airlines settled on Vistara as the brand name for their airline. Vistara began services last month from its Delhi base.
Vistara Voyages, a Bengaluru-based travel agency, filed a suit in a civil court in that city seeking to restrain Tata-Singapore Airlines from using the Vistara trademark. Vistara Voyages, set up in 2008, offers leisure and corporate travel services and filed the suit claiming distinctiveness in service with the brand name.
