India – Upholding Trademark Reputation In Counterfeit Markets.
['Rohin Pujari']
Conventus Law
The problem of counterfeit goods has grown into a major global concern, affecting brand owners, consumers, and markets alike.
Counterfeit products, ranging from apparel and accessories to electronics and pharmaceuticals, are typically low-quality replicas that illegally use trademarks, logos, packaging, and other intellectual property of reputable brands.
This not only undermines the brand’s reputation but also causes financial losses, dilutes goodwill, and impacts the overall trust that consumers place in branded goods.
Courts often grant ex parte injunctions to stop the sale of counterfeit goods at the earliest stage.
The Court recognised the plaintiff’s extensive reputation, large-scale operations in India, and long-standing trademark registrations.
