New Trademark Bill in India

Recognizing a need to amend the existing trademark law, Indian legislative bodies have proposed a new Trademark Bill known as the Trade Mark (Amendment) Bill 2007 by which a new chapter IV A has been incorporated. The aim of the bill is to amend the trade mark laws in India so as to afford protection to the Indian trade mark in other countries as well.

One of the important features of the Bill is that it empowers the Registrar of Trade Marks to deal with international applications originating from India and abroad and maintain a record of international registrations. Other amendments include reduction of the time period of filling of notice of opposition of published applications to three months and simplification of the provision related to transfer of ownership trade marks by assignment or transmission.
