Trademarks: Canons Regarding the Availability, Scope and Use under TRIPS Agreement

Dr. Navdeep Kour Sasan

Abstract :

Trademark is an important asset in the hands of the persons carrying on trade and business. It protects not only the goods but also the services provided by the entrepreneurs to the consumers, who recognize them on the basis of the goodwill and reputation earned by their owners in the market. Trademark is a distinctive sign or combination of signs capable of distinguishing the goods and services of one entrepreneur from those of others. The TRIPS Agreement makes registration of signs an essential prerequisite for their protection and provides for an inclusive and not exhaustive list of the trademarks, thereby giving freedom to the Member States from denying protection to certain trademarks, but subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions.
