The Bench comprises of Justice S.C. Gupte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facts\"><\/span><strong>Facts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The Plaintiff is a writer and has written multiple novels and short stories. One of the short stories in his collection goes by the name of \u201cSingardaan\u201d published in 1993.<\/li><li>The Plaintiff\u2019s claim is that the defendant have produced a web series under an identical title which was released on an app called \u201cUllu\u201d. The plaintiff complaint is that the defendant not only copied&nbsp; the title but the entire plot of the short story and accordingly the plaintiffs seeks damages and as well as injunction relief.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Holding\"><\/span><strong>Holding<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bombay HC disposed of the motion by ordering the Defendant to restrain fro making any further adaptation or use in a different format of their web series by the name of \u201cSingardaan\u201d pending the hearing and final disposal of the suit and in the meantime the defendants are directed to maintain an account of revenue made from their web series from the inception to disposal of the suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brief_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Brief Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The HC while addressing the what is meant by copyright in the story tackled the idea vs expression dichotomy, the bench referred to an English case Hollinrake v. Truswell which held that copyright does not extend to idea or schemes but is confined to the expression of the idea. . The court referring to the R.G. Anand case held in order to be actionable the copy must be a substantial and material one which at once leads to the conclusion that the defendant is guilty of an act of piracy. The court compared the story, theme and content of both the plaintiff\u2019s story and the defendant\u2019s web series and held that it is an actionable copy of the plaintiff\u2019s work. Hence the Plaintiff has proved a prima facie case of infringement of copyright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the court moving on to the relief aspect argued that since the defendants\u2019 work has not only been completed but also sufficiently published, although the Plaintiff\u2019s work has been illegitimately used; the use us complete and the damage has been done. Thus the court held that instead of a temporary injunction, interests of justice will be better served if the suit itself is set down for trial and the plaintiff is monetary compensated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The court referred to a well-known case of Harman Pictures v. Osborne in which it was held that in cases of copyright infringement the Plaintiff has to first establish a strong prima facie case for the existence of the copyright protection he claims. The court after comparing the works of respondent and petitioner held that there was a prima facie case of infringement of copyright in favour of Plaintiff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abhinav Mishra| Kirit P.
