An Indian court has ruled that Indian whiskey manufacturers cannot use the words "Scot" or "Scotch" to describe their products, in compliance with World Trade Organization rules, a newspaper reported Monday. The ruling came in a lawsuit filed by the Scotch Whisky Association of the U.K. seeking to restrain Indian whiskey maker Golden Bottling Limited from using the name "Red Scot" to sell its whiskey. This is the first such ruling in India on the WTO's Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights Agreement.

The words “Scot” or “Scotch” identify whiskey produced in Scotland, and no Indian manufacturer can use it to promote or market its product, the Deccan Chronicle newspaper quoted Judge Madan B. Lokur of the Delhi High Court as saying.
