Abstract

This paper aims to check one of the most important intellectual properties, namely trademarks, as well as their infringement and passing off actions. A trademark is defined as something connected3 to a particular good or service in order to the recognition and identification of that good or service, thus it can be anything that identifies and recognizes any product or service. The term trademark is defined under Section 2(1)(zb) of the Trademark Act, 1999. This paper basically talks about infringement of trademark and passing off which includes their elements, defenses, reliefs, and few important case laws.
