IKEA secures interim relief over Indian trademark dispute

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA has secured an interim relief from the Delhi High Court over a trademark infringement.

IKEA filed the lawsuit against India’s IKEY Home Studio after claiming that consumers would mistakenly believe that IKEY is engaged in selling IKEA’s products due to wording found on its website, ikeyllp.com.

An IKEA investigator identified that IKEY’s website mentioned it “showcases a wide variety of products from renowned brands”.

The court has now ruled in favour of IKEA and has introduced an interim relief to IKEY, meaning the business must refrain from using ‘IKEY’, ‘IKEY Home Studio’, or any other mark that is deceptively similar to the IKEA trademark.

Furthermore, the court also ordered the company to suspend the domain name during the pendency of the case and to disclose the registrant details of the domain name. IKEY did not attend the hearing, with the case further listed for review on 9 May 2025.
