A WTCA company spokesman stated that “We look forward to shifting the focus in India back to our local Members’ iconic architecture and their sophisticated trade service practices that highlight the WTCA’s international network of more than 300 Member trade operations in 90 countries around the world. We are gratified that the High Court of Delhi recognized that the Bhalla Group of Companies was continuing to infringe our world-famous brands and that it granted our request to enjoin them from further damaging our brands.”
As reported previously, on February 18, 2025, in order to protect its brands and the reputation of WTCA’s other Members around the world, the WTCA terminated all of its license agreements with WTC Noida Development Company Pvt. Ltd. and called on it to discontinue all use of the WTCA’s trademarks, which it failed to do.
On May 2, 2025, the High Court of Delhi granted a temporary injunction in favour of World Trade Centers Association, Inc. (WTCA), restraining former licensee WTC Noida Development Company Pvt. Ltd. and its related entities from the Bhalla Group of Companies from further use of any of the WTCA’s registered trademarks, namely, World Trade Center, WTC, and Map Design device mark.
