What is Trademark Law?
Trademark law is a specialized area of intellectual property law that protects brand names, logos, slogans, and other distinctive signs used by businesses to distinguish their products or services from competitors. A trademark provides exclusive rights to the owner, preventing unauthorized use by others. In India, trademarks are governed by The Trade Marks Act, 1999, ensuring legal protection for registered marks and enabling businesses to take legal action against infringement.
