What is Trademark Infringement?
Trademark Infringement occurs when a third party uses a trademark that is identical or deceptively similar to a registered trademark without the owner’s permission. This unauthorized use can mislead consumers into believing that the products or services come from the trademark owner, which can damage the brand’s reputation and cause financial losses.
In India, trademark infringement is governed by the Trademarks Act, 1999 and is overseen by the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks.
