Google files an appeal in the Delhi High Court after a single-judge order directs it to pay Hindware ₹30 lakh in damages for using Hindware’s trademark as keywords in its AdWords programme. Multiple reports state that the court does not grant Google a stay or interim relief, meaning the liability and damages order is not paused while the appeal is pending. NDTV and Mint describe the ruling as a significant departure from Google’s longstanding position that advertisers are responsible for selecting the keywords used in keyword-targeted advertising. The Hindu and Business Line report that the matter is listed for further hearing on July 24. Business Line characterizes Google’s move as seeking a stay of the damages order. Across the coverage, the central issue remains whether Google can be held liable for trademark infringement linked to keyword use within its advertising service, and the appellate proceedings continue to examine that question following the High Court’s decision.
