How To File A Trademark Infringement Case In India

A trademark is like an identification mark for any individual or company. It includes a name, word, number, symbol, or a combination applied to products or services of a company or individual to identify and distinguish the goods or services of one entity from others. It is pertinent to ensure trademark protection through registration under the Trademark Act 1999, to safeguard your brand against unauthorized use and exploitation by third parties.

Trademark infringement is using of a mark that is identical or deceptively similar to a registered trademark without authorization from the registered user.

In India, the Trade Marks Act 1999 governs trademark registration and its protection and is administered by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks.
