Trade Marks and Passing Off with Model Forms

Trade Marks and Passing Off with Model Forms offers a detailed and practice-oriented exposition of trademark law in India. The book explains the concept, registration, assignment, licensing, and protection of trademarks under the Trade Marks Act, along with common law remedies relating to passing off. It systematically discusses infringement actions, jurisdiction, burden of proof, defenses, and reliefs available to rights holders.

Special attention is given to passing off actions, goodwill, deceptive similarity, and misrepresentation, supported by leading judicial precedents. The text integrates procedural aspects relating to filing, evidence, interim injunctions, and damages, making it highly useful for litigation practice.

A key feature of the book is the inclusion of well-drafted model forms and pleadings such as trademark applications, oppositions, rectifications, cease and desist notices, plaints, and affidavits. Written in a clear and practical manner, the book serves as an essential reference for lawyers, trademark agents, corporate professionals, and students seeking both conceptual clarity and hands-on guidance in trademark protection and enforcement.
