Overview
In India, trademark protection is governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999. A trademark is a distinctive sign that identifies and distinguishes the goods or services of one business from those of others. It may consist of a word, name, logo, label, signature, numeral, shape, packaging, colour combination, or any combination thereof.
Registration of a trademark grants the proprietor exclusive rights to use the mark in relation to the registered goods or services and provides legal remedies against unauthorized use or infringement.
