FAQs:
- What is a trade mark?
A trade mark could be said to be a word, design, logo or a symbol or a combination of the same that a company uses to identify its goods or services so as to enable customers and the public at large to distinguish the goods and services of that company from other companies’ goods and services. Trade mark plays a vital role in preventing customer confusion by clearly indicating that the goods or services offered belong only to the registered proprietor of the trade mark.
- What does trade mark law protect?
Trade mark law protects the reputation and goodwill of the registered proprietors of the trade mark by deterring non-permitted users from using the trade mark of the proprietor. The aim of trade mark law is to prevent customer confusion which is guaranteed by distinguishing goods and services of one registered proprietor from another entity’s goods and services. The registration of a mark provides the owner of the mark the exclusive usage of the mark to the exclusion of the public. A trade mark owner might be able to stop others from using a particular mark, which is deceptively similar or identical with the registered mark, if using the mark is likely to cause a customer to be confused about whether the product being sold is the trade mark owner’s product.
- What is Counterfeiting?
Counterfeiting is a type of trade mark infringement, where a person unlawfully causes reproduction of a registered trade mark, or a mark that is very similar to a registered trade mark, in connection with the sale of a product that does not come from the trade mark holder, but appears as if it has been produced by the registered proprietor. It is necessary to use the registered trade mark on the product or packaging.
- Who can report violations of the policy?
vitalvittles shall take suo moto cognizance of any trade mark infringements or it shall investigate requests that are submitted or reported by the trade mark holder, their authorized representatives, by the buyers of the products sold on this website.
- What if I did not know I was violating/had violated someone’s intellectual property?
Customers are expected to comply with all the Acts, Regulations, Rules and policies laid down by the Government of India and are also expected to adhere to vitalvittles’s policies. vitalvittles takes cognizance and claims of intellectual property infringement seriously. Even if it is found that a customer is infringing on someone’s intellectual property without knowledge, we will still take action and the buyer’s account might receive a warning or be suspended. You should consult an attorney for help to ensure that your business has the right procedures in place to prevent IP infringement.
