Overview of the Trademark Law in India

The legal framework for trademark protection in India is governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999, commonly referred to as the Indian Trademarks Act. This act sets out the criteria, procedures, rights, and enforcement mechanisms for trademarks in the country.

Key Features of the Trademarks Act India

• Defines what constitutes a trademark (words, symbols, logos, etc.)
• Allows for trademark registration for goods and services
• Grants exclusive usage rights to registered owners
• Provides remedies for infringement, including injunctions and damages
• Enables opposition and rectification procedures
• Covers both domestic and international trademarks under the Madrid Protocol

Whether you’re registering a new mark or dealing with a legal dispute, having an expert by your side is essential to navigating the trade mark law in India.
