It was contended in TV Today's suit that by using a trade name and logo similar to their channel , Ab Tak was infringing upon their copyright and passing off the local channel as if it was a product of the producers of Aaj Tak.

Justice OP Dwivedi, who looked into the case, has summoned the defendants on 2 September. The court opined that the use of such a similar brand name could seriously undermine the credibility of the original channel, and might suggest an association/affiliation with Aaj Tak.
