 Given the similarity in the domain names and mobile applications of
Plaintiff No. 1 and Defendant No. 1, Plaintiff No. 1’s representative
undertook internet search to gauge the nature of activities conducted on
Defendant No. 1’s website and mobile application. The representative
found that Defendant No. 1 was offering various investment options such
as Initial Public Offerings [“IPOs”], Venture Capital Services [“VCS”]
and Value-averaging Investment Plans [“VIPs”] under the name and style

of ‘ ’ which are nearly identical to Plaintiffs’ “PEAK XV”

trademarks. In fact, in the sections providing an introduction/ background
to impugned website and mobile application, one of the Plaintiffs’ videos
titled ‘Peak XV We Believe’, which is a video about the Plaintiffs’ vision
and objectives and is uploaded on their website, has been unauthorizedly
reproduced by Defendant No. 1 with a view to misrepresent an association
with the Plaintiffs. Similarly, the ‘About Us’ section of the Plaintiffs’
website has also been imitated by Defendant No. 1. In an investment
option called ‘Pakxv-VCS: 102’, Defendant No. 1 claims that a
prospective investor would earn an income of Rs. 19,900/- upon investing
of Rs. 1000/- with a daily income of Rs. 420/- for a period of 45 days. The
users can make payments for said investments through various modes,
including Google Pay and PayTM. The UPI IDs associated with
Defendant No. 1’s Google Pay and PayTM accounts are mentioned in
Document-C annexed with the plaint and are registered with Defendant
No. 7-bank.

26.2 Defendant No. 2, Alibaba Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co. Ltd., is

directed to suspend/ block access to the impugned website
https://pakxv.joyppp.com/ during the pendency of the suit. They shall also
maintain status quo as to the ownership of the aforesaid website/ domain
name. Further, Defendant No. 2 is directed to file with the Court the
complete details concerning the name, contact details, mode of payment,
and IP address used by the registrants of the impugned website, in a
sealed cover.”
