Law Relating to Trade Marks — passing off and Geographical Indication of Goods

Law Relating to Trade Marks — Passing Off and Geographical Indication of Goods is a detailed and practical exposition of the legal principles governing brand protection and market identity. The book comprehensively covers trade mark law, including registration, scope of rights, infringement, and enforcement under the statutory framework.

A significant portion is devoted to the common law remedy of passing off, explaining goodwill, misrepresentation, and damage, along with judicial interpretations and practical enforcement strategies. The book also provides an in-depth understanding of Geographical Indications (GI), focusing on protection of region-specific products, registration procedures, rights conferred, and remedies against misuse.

By integrating statutory provisions with case law and practical insights, the book addresses both traditional and emerging challenges in intellectual property protection. It is particularly valuable for understanding how legal mechanisms safeguard brands, consumer trust, and economic value associated with regional goods in domestic and global markets.
