Brands and
Trademarks are playing a major role in commercial activities world
over. Big organisations are fighting legal battles to protect and
enforce their brands and Trademarks. For instance, Financial Times
and Times of India have been fighting a Trademark
battle in Supreme Court of India. Similarly, USPTO
granted Apple Trademarks for its retail outlets designs and layout.
Novel and unexplored avenues like new GTLDs by ICANN
would further raise Trademark and brand disputes in future. Legal
issues of new GTLDs applications and registrations are
well known. The objection
and dispute resolution for ICANN’s new GTLDs registrations
is the recognition of possible legal disputes in this regard. Thus,
Trademark
and brand protection under new GTLDs registration by ICANN
must be suitably planned.
More and more individuals and companies are
interested in brand
protection and management in India. This is evident from
the increased numbers of Trademark registrations in India. The
Trademarks
registration procedure in India is well established and
there are many good Trademark
IP law firms and lawyers in India.
Even many companies and firms are offering brand
protection and enforcement services in India. However,
some of these companies are engaging in illegal and unethical
activities while protecting brands of others. This can cause trouble
for both these company ies and their clients. The truth is that
online
brand and reputation protection got nasty and law
enforcement agencies must take notice of these illegal activities.
At Perry4Law and Perry4Law’s Techno Legal Base (PTLB) we believe that online brand and trademark protection in India must be done in a techno legal manner. Companies and firms engaging in illegal and unethical methods must stop using the same immediately as they may bring short term benefits but would be detrimental in the long run.
If you are interested in techno legal online and
trademark protection in India, you may contact
us in this regard for your professional needs.
