Trademarks are very valuable. This is a simple trademark issue; there is no personal dispute. Abhishek Lodha MD and CEO, Macrotech Developers

Macrotech Developers Ltd (Lodha Group), led by Abhishek Lodha, recently moved the Bombay High Court seeking to restrain The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), a real estate firm started by younger brother Abhinandan, from using the Lodha brand name.

Mumbai-based Macrotech claims HoABL's use of the Lodha name has created confusion among customers with respect to the brand. Macrotech's lawsuit against HoABL is for infringement of the Lodha Group's trademarks and passing off HoABL's business as Macrotech's. The next court hearing is on 27 January.

Speaking for the first time since the lawsuit was filed, Macrotech managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO) Abhishek Lodha, in an interview, spoke on the importance of the brand and the legal recourse that could not be avoided.
