Trademark protects a business or brand and distinguishes it from others. It also gives the right to the mark and allows the holder to file a lawsuit against infringers. The TM Act allows for the registration of service marks and three-dimensional marks as well. In India, trademarks are protected both under statutory law and common law. Mark is defined to include a device, brand, heading, label, ticket, name, signature, word, letter, numeral, shape of goods, packaging or, combination of colors, or any combination thereof.
