Case Study: SUPERSONIC (Kuil Fireworks) – Cannot Dissect a Device Mark: Madras HC Reaffirms Anti-Dissection Rule for Fireworks Brand in SUPERSONIC Case

Kuil Fireworks Industries applied for a composite device mark for Class 13 fireworks. The Registrar refused it under Section 9(1)(a) by treating it as a pure word mark and testing “supersonic” for distinctiveness in isolation. The Madras High Court set the refusal aside the authority cannot dissect a device mark application and the law on this point is now too well settled.
