Samir Kasal, a novel personality in the field of sports entertainment conceptualized the format and novel features of an International Cricket League wherein famous retired cricketers would compete against each other amidst a test cricket format divided over 2 innings of 10 overs each that which would be intended to roll out in non-cricket playing countries to bolster the interest and spirit of the sport within the same. It was claimed by the him that he alongside Prashant Mehta had started working on the project, who also successfully roped in Vivek Khushalani to join as an investor and in light of the same, the allied format, conceptual clarity and other information about the project had been shared to Vivek collectively in discretion and due confidentiality underlying the project titled "Legends Premiere League." However, after getting notified from media coverage Samir came to know that Prashant and Vivek were intending to organize a league titled "Legends League Cricket" rather than "Legends Premiere League" which had been previously agreed between them, Samir (herein after plaintiff) filed a petition seeking interim relief claiming that there was an undue copyright infringement of the concept that was primarily developed by him and a clear breach of confidentiality on which the Prashant and Vivek (herein after Defendants) misappropriated his original concept in light of the same. Defendants submitted that the "format" which the Plaintiff claimed to have been introduced by him had been first introduced in the public domain in 1997, holding that the Plaintiff's idea which he desired exclusively and claimed for copyright infringement itself lacked originality. Further, the Defendants asserted that their Tournament's format was different from that of the Plaintiff's pertaining to the novel features that included the number of teams, overs, venues, franchises, innings and league names per say; thus vehemently denying any such claims of undue copyright infringement.
