SUBWAY VS SUBERB ROW: SUBERB NOT PHONETICALLY SIMILAR TO SUBWAY: DELHI HIGH COURT The Delhi High Court rejected Subway's request for an interim injunction, stating that the company cannot assert any monopoly over the term "Sub, " particularly when it refers to restaurants that offer submarine sandwiches. According to the Court, the term "Sub" is "publici juris" when used in reference to restaurants that serve submarine sandwiches. “No exclusivity can, therefore, be claimed, by the petitioner over the first part of its registered SUBWAY mark, i.e, "SUB." The plaintiff cannot claim a monopoly over all two-syllable words of which the first syllable is "SUB", especially when used in the context of eateries which serve sandwiches and similar items".
