Benefits of Trademark Registration
Registration of a trademark is a vital step to protect your business interests. Obtaining India trademark registration establishes that the registered owner is the proprietor of the mark covered by the registration.
In the case of unregistered brands, the proprietor of the brand name can initiate a passing off action.
A registered trademark owner can initiate Trademark infringement proceedings under The Trade Marks Act 1999 and The Trade Marks Rules 2002. This is a more powerful tool compared to initiating the Passing Off Action available to a owner of an unregistered brand.
