🛡 Кое-что о регистрации имен собственных в качестве товарных знаков

🎛🎛 Регистрируются имена собственные различных видов, например: - фамилия - творческий псевдоним - имя и фамилия на кириллице и латинице - даже ваше собственное изображение может быть зарегистрировано в качестве товарного знака. Однако есть ограничения: если вы пытаетесь использовать имя известной личности или персонажа - это недопустимо без согласия уполномоченного на то лица. Уполномоченное лицо – это либо сам носитель имени собственного или создатель литературного персонажа или иного художественного произведения, либо их наследники. Также очень важно понимать, что в сознании потребителя должна быть установлена чёткая ассоциативная связь между конкретной фамилией, то есть вашим собственным именем, и конкретными товарами или услугами.

International Trademark Registration

International Trademark Registration

Madrid Protocol

The Madrid Protocol which came into operation in 1996 and the Madrid Agreement which dates from 1891 govern the system of international trademark registration. Under the Madrid Protocol, a mark can be registered in multiple countries by filing an application for international trademark registration through the trademark office of the applicant (“office of origin”).

International Trademark Registration Process

International trademark registration application under the Madrid Protocol must be filed by the trademark applicant through the trademark office of the applicant, know as the office of origin. In case of Indian Businesses, the Office of Registrar of Trademark, India is the office of origin. The office of origin will process the trademark application and file it with the Intellectual Property Organization at Geneva.

If the trademark application is found fit, then the mark is recorded in the International Register and published in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Gazette of International Marks. The International Bureau then provides a certificate of international registration and notifies each of the country contracting to the Madrid Protocol for which protection has been requested by the trademark applicant. Each of the countries trademark office has the right to refuse protection of the mark by notifying to the International Bureau within the time limits specified in the Madrid Protocol. The Madrid Protocol has set strict time limits  of 12 or 18 months for objections to be raised by the designated offices.

Any objection to registration of the trademark must be made to the International Bureau in the prescribed format. If there are no refusals by any of the country, then the protection of the mark in each of the country is the same as if it had been registered by the Office of that country.

Once an international trademark is registered under the Madrid Protocol, the mark is registered for 10 years. International trademark registrations can be renewed at the end of the 10 year period directly through WIPO or through the concerned office of origin.

Requirements for Obtaining International Trademark Registration

There are three main requirements for obtaining an international trademark registration in India:

The applicant should be a national of India or domiciled in India or have real and effective business or commercial establishment in India.

The applicant must have a national (Indian) trademark application or registration of a trademark with the Indian Trade Marks Registry. This national trademark application/registration will be used as the basis of the international application. The international application will have the same trademark as mentioned in the national trademark application or registration; The list of goods and services mentioned in the international application should also be identical with the national mark.

The applicant in the international application must choose one or more other member countries of the Madrid Protocol, where the applicant wants to protect his trademark.

International Trademark

Similar to Intellectual Property rights, all jurisdictions have different regulations on the right to trademark registration. In addition, this right is also influenced by mutual agreements concluded between certain jurisdictions at the regional or international level.

Each jurisdiction of the world has its own trademark registration process and procedures, so the registration process will cause some problems for applicants. Therefore, governments of many jurisdictions have come to an agreement on the common trademark registration process to simplify the process.

By registering an international level trademark, your business brand will be protected across more than 106 jurisdictions, along with other benefits comes with the registered trademark:

Build brand recognition among the global market

Defend against competitors’ use of a trademark

Monetize the business’s intellectual property

Prevent confusion and fraud

Unregistered Trademarks and their IP Protection

Introduction

Registration of a trademark under the Indian Trade Marks Act, 1999, is not mandatory. As a result, both registered and unregistered trademarks are defendable in India through a passing off or infringement lawsuit in a court of law.

India, a common law nation, upholds both codified law and common law principles, and as a result, it offers both infringements and passing off actions for trademark infringement. In India, rights to a trademark can be obtained by earlier adoption as well as through extensive, continuous, honest, legitimate, and uninterrupted use of the mark. Both passing off and trademark infringement are recognized under Section 135 of the Trade Marks Act.

What are Registered and Unregistered marks?

A trademark that has been registered under the Trademark Act of 1999 grants its owner exclusive rights. His ownership of such a trademark after registration becomes the initial piece of proof.

As we previously noted, the Act does not require that a trademark be registered, therefore unregistered trademarks are those that are not registered. However, compared to the legal protection provided to registered trademarks, the protection they receive is quite limited.

What is passing off?

Passing off is a common law tort, which can be used to enforce unregistered trademark rights. In the case of Perry v Truefitt (1842) for the first time the principle of passing off was introduced, i.e. “Nobody has the right to represent his goods as the goods of somebody else”.

Criteria for a passing off action

The primary purpose of India's passing off statute, which is actionable under common law, is to safeguard the goodwill associated with unregistered trademarks. The fundamental rule of law states that one should not profit from another person's labor. The following are the criteria for a passing-off action.

Reputation

It is crucial to prove in court that an unregistered trademark has a reputation in the market and can be easily differentiated under the class of goods, businesses, or services for which it is used. An unregistered trademark must have some goodwill and reputation in the market which means, people should recognize such a mark.

Prior user

Unregistered trademarks are given statutory protection under Sections 34 and 35 of the Trademark Act, 1999. These clauses essentially state that a prior user of a trademark will have priority over later users notwithstanding being registered in order to protect the interests of an unregistered trademark.

Misrepresentation

The party instituting an action against passing off needs to prove that such passing off by a third party has caused him actual damage in business and profit due to the misrepresentation.

Finding & Conclusion

An unregistered trademark owner has some rights and remedies according to the Trademark Act of 1999 and common law remedies, but it also puts a burden on him. The unregistered trademark owner may believe that taking legal action to prevent passing off provides adequate protection, but there are still requirements that must be completed. A trademark serves as a brand's and a product's identification. The rights derived from such a brand must be very carefully considered and understood. It is advised for such a person to register his trademark in order to take advantage of the range of rights offered by the Trademarks Act, of 1999.

Trademark Secrets: Why Copycats Are Killing Your Brand"?

In today's competitive business landscape, protecting your brand is essential to maintaining its integrity and reputation. One of the most effective ways to safeguard your brand from copycats is through trademark registration.
