Jagran Prakashan Ltd. vs. Telegram FZ LLC &amp; Ors. M\/s. Jagran Prakash Ltd (Plaintiff company) has filed a case against Telegram FZ LLC &amp; Ors for violating their copyrights and trademarks rights. M\/s. Jagran Prakash Ltd is the absolute owner of the newspaper Dainik Jagran, which is also available in E-form to its readers on its website. However, the content available on the website of Dainik Jagran had certain restrictions. Downloading of content was restricted, and a person was restricted to transmitting the content of the website. Lately, it was brought to the notice of M\/s. Jagran Prakash Ltd that their newspaper was illicitly circulated using Telegram Channels resulting in monetary loss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jagran Prakash Ltd. is the leading publisher and owner of the trademark \u2018Dainik Jagran\u2019 in various <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/trademark-registration\"><strong>Trademark<\/strong><\/a> classes. The company circulates in both physical and digital forms throughout the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, The Defendant Company (Telegram FZ LLC) is a <em><strong>Dubai<\/strong><\/em><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dubai\"><em><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/sup> -established Intellectual Property facility distributor that facilitates its users free access of messaging and voice-over IP facility over various operating platforms. Telegram FZ LLC through its application Telegram enables its users to form channels and share files. Considering the infringement, Jagran Prakash Ltd. Moved the case to the Delhi High court requesting ad interim injunction and restraining the defendants from subsequent infringement of its Intellectual Property Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Findings_in_the_case-_Jagran_Prakashan_Ltd_vs_Telegram_FZ_LLC_Ors\"><\/span>Findings in the case- Jagran Prakashan Ltd. vs.\nTelegram FZ LLC &amp; Ors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the analysis was that the defendant company was\ncirculating Plaintiff\u2019s e-newspaper through PDF. Dainik Jagran&#8217;s digital\ne-newspaper was accessible by a person free of cost. In India, The report\npublished is downloaded from Dainik Jagran\u2019s web portal, and the registered\nuser can read the e-paper at no cost. Also, the plaintiff company has included\na technological safeguard system that limits the download of the e-paper.\nHowever, in the case of a foreign jurisdiction, there was a subscription fee of\nUSD 1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telegram was circulating the PDFs of restricted access\nnewspapers of Dainik Jagran that resulted in Copyright infringement. Plaintiff\nhad issued notices against Telegram FZ LLC, to which there was no reply.\nFurther, Jagran Prakashan presented a copy of the suit along with the papers\nagainst Defendant. After various notices, the plaintiff received a reply\nstating that channels are blocked. But the fact was that the said channels were\nnot only available but had also increased in numbers. Even after frequent\nreminders, the said channels were not stopped from publishing. Also, the reply\nfrom the defendant&#8217;s side was wrong because of the screenshot taken by the\nplaintiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Courts_Decision_in_the_case_of_Jagran_Prakashan_Ltd_vs_Telegram_FZ_LLC_Ors\"><\/span>Court\u2019s Decision in the case of Jagran Prakashan\nLtd. vs. Telegram FZ LLC &amp; Ors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court ordered in favor of Jagran Prakashan Ltd. where\nPlaintiff had made an evidential case that resulted in an ad-interim injunction\nin favor of Plaintiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the Court has instructed Telegram FZ LLC to disclose the\nbasic details of subscribers of the channels and has ordered to block the\nchannels within forty-eight hours of instructions given by the court. As per\nthe instructions, the defendant company could not ask for alleging its mediator\nstatus and block the infringing channels. The court further added to disclose\nthe names of all the persons who had started each of these channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The case of Jagran Prakashan Ltd vs. Telegram FZ LLC clearly states the <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/copyright-registration\"><strong>copyright<\/strong><\/a> infringement case in favor of Dainik Jagran, where Telegram got barred from downloading the website content. The case was the unauthorized circulation of digital content and infringing the copyrights of the plaintiff company.
