Quia Timet Relief in Copyright Infringement | Past Licensing & Undertaking Establish Imminent Violation : Bombay HC

Bombay HC grants ad-interim injunction under quia timet doctrine where the respondent's past licensing history and written undertaking create a clear apprehension of imminent copyright infringement. The ruling reinforces that undertakings acknowledging exclusive rights, coupled with scheduled events, suffice to establish a credible threat of violation even without actual infringement.
