🛡 Кое-что о регистрации имен собственных в качестве товарных знаков

🎛🎛 Регистрируются имена собственные различных видов, например: - фамилия - творческий псевдоним - имя и фамилия на кириллице и латинице - даже ваше собственное изображение может быть зарегистрировано в качестве товарного знака. Однако есть ограничения: если вы пытаетесь использовать имя известной личности или персонажа - это недопустимо без согласия уполномоченного на то лица. Уполномоченное лицо – это либо сам носитель имени собственного или создатель литературного персонажа или иного художественного произведения, либо их наследники. Также очень важно понимать, что в сознании потребителя должна быть установлена чёткая ассоциативная связь между конкретной фамилией, то есть вашим собственным именем, и конкретными товарами или услугами.

International Trademark Registration

International Trademark Registration

Madrid Protocol

The Madrid Protocol which came into operation in 1996 and the Madrid Agreement which dates from 1891 govern the system of international trademark registration. Under the Madrid Protocol, a mark can be registered in multiple countries by filing an application for international trademark registration through the trademark office of the applicant (“office of origin”).

International Trademark Registration Process

International trademark registration application under the Madrid Protocol must be filed by the trademark applicant through the trademark office of the applicant, know as the office of origin. In case of Indian Businesses, the Office of Registrar of Trademark, India is the office of origin. The office of origin will process the trademark application and file it with the Intellectual Property Organization at Geneva.

If the trademark application is found fit, then the mark is recorded in the International Register and published in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Gazette of International Marks. The International Bureau then provides a certificate of international registration and notifies each of the country contracting to the Madrid Protocol for which protection has been requested by the trademark applicant. Each of the countries trademark office has the right to refuse protection of the mark by notifying to the International Bureau within the time limits specified in the Madrid Protocol. The Madrid Protocol has set strict time limits  of 12 or 18 months for objections to be raised by the designated offices.

Any objection to registration of the trademark must be made to the International Bureau in the prescribed format. If there are no refusals by any of the country, then the protection of the mark in each of the country is the same as if it had been registered by the Office of that country.

Once an international trademark is registered under the Madrid Protocol, the mark is registered for 10 years. International trademark registrations can be renewed at the end of the 10 year period directly through WIPO or through the concerned office of origin.

Requirements for Obtaining International Trademark Registration

There are three main requirements for obtaining an international trademark registration in India:

The applicant should be a national of India or domiciled in India or have real and effective business or commercial establishment in India.

The applicant must have a national (Indian) trademark application or registration of a trademark with the Indian Trade Marks Registry. This national trademark application/registration will be used as the basis of the international application. The international application will have the same trademark as mentioned in the national trademark application or registration; The list of goods and services mentioned in the international application should also be identical with the national mark.

The applicant in the international application must choose one or more other member countries of the Madrid Protocol, where the applicant wants to protect his trademark.

International Trademark

Similar to Intellectual Property rights, all jurisdictions have different regulations on the right to trademark registration. In addition, this right is also influenced by mutual agreements concluded between certain jurisdictions at the regional or international level.

Each jurisdiction of the world has its own trademark registration process and procedures, so the registration process will cause some problems for applicants. Therefore, governments of many jurisdictions have come to an agreement on the common trademark registration process to simplify the process.

Build brand recognition among the global market

Defend against competitors’ use of a trademark

Monetize the business’s intellectual property

Unregistered Trademarks and their IP Protection

Introduction

Registration of a trademark under the Indian Trade Marks Act, 1999, is not mandatory. As a result, both registered and unregistered trademarks are defendable in India through a passing off or infringement lawsuit in a court of law.

India, a common law nation, upholds both codified law and common law principles, and as a result, it offers both infringements and passing off actions for trademark infringement. In India, rights to a trademark can be obtained by earlier adoption as well as through extensive, continuous, honest, legitimate, and uninterrupted use of the mark. Both passing off and trademark infringement are recognized under Section 135 of the Trade Marks Act.

What are Registered and Unregistered marks?

A trademark that has been registered under the Trademark Act of 1999 grants its owner exclusive rights. His ownership of such a trademark after registration becomes the initial piece of proof.

As we previously noted, the Act does not require that a trademark be registered, therefore unregistered trademarks are those that are not registered. However, compared to the legal protection provided to registered trademarks, the protection they receive is quite limited.

What is passing off?

Passing off is a common law tort, which can be used to enforce unregistered trademark rights. In the case of Perry v Truefitt (1842) for the first time the principle of passing off was introduced, i.e. “Nobody has the right to represent his goods as the goods of somebody else”.

Criteria for a passing off action

The primary purpose of India's passing off statute, which is actionable under common law, is to safeguard the goodwill associated with unregistered trademarks. The fundamental rule of law states that one should not profit from another person's labor. The following are the criteria for a passing-off action.

Reputation

It is crucial to prove in court that an unregistered trademark has a reputation in the market and can be easily differentiated under the class of goods, businesses, or services for which it is used. An unregistered trademark must have some goodwill and reputation in the market which means, people should recognize such a mark.

Prior user

Unregistered trademarks are given statutory protection under Sections 34 and 35 of the Trademark Act, 1999. These clauses essentially state that a prior user of a trademark will have priority over later users notwithstanding being registered in order to protect the interests of an unregistered trademark.

Misrepresentation

The party instituting an action against passing off needs to prove that such passing off by a third party has caused him actual damage in business and profit due to the misrepresentation.

Finding & Conclusion

An unregistered trademark owner has some rights and remedies according to the Trademark Act of 1999 and common law remedies, but it also puts a burden on him. The unregistered trademark owner may believe that taking legal action to prevent passing off provides adequate protection, but there are still requirements that must be completed. A trademark serves as a brand's and a product's identification. The rights derived from such a brand must be very carefully considered and understood. It is advised for such a person to register his trademark in order to take advantage of the range of rights offered by the Trademarks Act, of 1999.

Trademark registration has the following benefits: The registration serves as a legal presumption of your trademark ownership. First of all, it grants the interested party legal ownership of the mark and the unique right to use it for commercial purposes.

[ebizfiling01]

Several types of trademarks can be registered in India, including word and service marks, certification marks, shape marks, collective markings, series marks, and logo and symbol marks. The most common type of trademark that consists just of text is a word mark. The unique design, or logo, is what makes up the logo and symbol mark. Words and designs are combined to create collective marks. Shape markings are unique, specialized shapes found on products. Trademarks with a common element or topic are protected by series marks. On the other hand, a certification mark serves as an indicator that products or services fulfill requirements established by the organization that certifies them, ensuring features such as quality, source, or other particular qualities. To develop brand identification and guarantee legal protection in the Indian market, the above-mentioned types of trademark are essential.

Professional Assistance: Navigating the mainland licensing process can be complex, requiring comprehensive knowledge of local regulations and procedures. Seeking professional assistance from business consultants or legal experts can streamline the setup process. It ensures compliance with all requirements, and that is why we are here for you!

What are the legal consequences and potential defenses available to a business accused of trademark infringement?

Legal consequences for a business accused of trademark infringement include injunctions to stop using the infringing mark, monetary damages, and potentially paying the plaintiff's legal fees. The court may award actual damages, profits gained from the infringement, and statutory damages. Reputational harm and loss of business opportunities are additional non-legal consequences.

Potential defenses include:

Non-Infringement: Arguing no likelihood of confusion between the marks.

Invalidity of Plaintiff’s Mark: Claiming the plaintiff’s trademark is not valid or is generic.

Fair Use: Asserting the mark was used descriptively, not as a trademark, or nominative fair use, referring to the plaintiff’s goods.

First Sale Doctrine: Reselling genuine goods purchased legally without rebranding them.

Abandonment: Arguing the plaintiff has not used the trademark for an extended period, leading to abandonment.

Laches: Claiming the plaintiff unreasonably delayed in asserting the trademark rights, causing prejudice to the defendant.

Parody: In some cases, using the mark in a non-commercial, humorous way might be a defense, though this is limited and context-dependent.

These defenses aim to either disprove the infringement claim or demonstrate that the use of the trademark was legally permissible.

Expanding Your Brand Globally: A Guide to International Trademark Registration

Expanding your brand into international markets is an exciting and lucrative venture. However, with the global reach comes the crucial responsibility of protecting your brand identity. Trademarks, which include logos, slogans, and brand names, are fundamental assets that distinguish your products or services from competitors. Securing international trademark registration is essential to safeguard your brand across borders.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process, delivering valuable insights and practical steps for successful international trademark registration.

Understanding Trademarks and Their Importance

What is a Trademark?

A trademark is a symbol, word, or group of words legally registered or established by use as representing a company or product. It can include names, logos, slogans, sounds, and even colors that distinguish your goods or services from others in the market.

Why are Trademarks Important?

Brand Identity: Trademarks help consumers identify and differentiate your products from others, fostering brand loyalty.

Legal Protection: They provide legal protection against unauthorized use of your brand elements.

Business Asset: Trademarks are valuable intangible assets that can be appreciated over time.

Market Expansion: They enable smoother entry into new markets by protecting your brand in foreign jurisdictions.

Preparing for International Trademark Registration

Conducting a Trademark Search

Before filing for trademark registration, it’s crucial to conduct a comprehensive trademark search in your target markets. This step helps to ensure that your trademark is unique and not already in use, preventing potential legal disputes and rejection of your application.

Steps to Conduct a Trademark Search:

Identify Classes: Trademarks are categorized into different classes based on the type of goods or services. Identify the appropriate classes for your trademark.

Use Online Databases: Utilize online trademark databases such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Global Brand Database, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database, and other national databases to search for existing trademarks.

Professional Assistance: Consider hiring a trademark attorney or a professional search service to ensure a thorough search.

Evaluating Trademark Eligibility

Not all trademarks are eligible for registration. Your trademark must be distinctive, not descriptive or generic, and must not conflict with existing trademarks. Additionally, it must not contain misleading or offensive content.

Choosing the Right Markets

Identify the countries where you plan to expand and where trademark protection will be beneficial. Consider factors such as market potential, brand relevance, and local trademark laws. Prioritize countries with significant market opportunities and those where your brand is most likely to face competition or imitation. 

Pathways to International Trademark Registration 

There are several pathways to register your trademark internationally, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The choice depends on your business needs, budget, and target markets.

National Applications

You can file individual trademark applications directly with each country’s trademark office. This method allows for tailored applications according to specific national laws but can be time-consuming and expensive if you target multiple countries. 

Pros: 

Customized protection tailored to each country’s laws. 

Direct communication with national trademark offices. 

Cons: 

High costs and administrative burden. 

Varied registration procedures and timelines.

Regional Applications

For regions with unified trademark systems, such as the European Union (EU) and the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI), you can file a single application that covers all member countries.

Pros:

Simplified process for multiple countries within the region. 

Cost-effective for regional protection.

Cons:

Limited to specific regions. 

If opposed in one country, it can affect the entire application.

The Madrid System

The Madrid System, administered by WIPO, offers a centralized solution for registering trademarks in multiple countries through a single application. It currently covers over 120 countries, making it an efficient choice for broad international protection. 

Pros:

Single application and fee for multiple countries. 

Simplified management and renewal process. 

Flexibility to designate additional countries later.

Cons:

Dependent on the basic application/registration in the home country for the first five years. 

Not all countries are members.

Steps to Register Your Trademark Internationally Using the Madrid System

Basic Application or Registration

To use the Madrid System, you must first have a trademark application or registration in your home country (known as the basic application or basic registration). This serves as the foundation for your international application.

Filing the International Application

Submit your international application through your home country’s trademark office (Office of Origin). The application must include:

Your details and signature. 

Representation of the trademark. 

List of goods and services categorized according to the Nice Classification. 

Designation of member countries where you seek protection.

Examination by WIPO

WIPO examines the application for compliance with formal requirements and then publishes it in the WIPO Gazette of International Marks. It then forwards the application to the trademark offices of the designated countries.

Examination by Designated Countries

Each designated country’s trademark office examines the application according to its national laws. They may approve, partially refuse, or completely refuse the application. You must respond to any refusals or objections within the given timeframe.

Registration and Protection

Once approved by a designated country, your trademark is protected in that country as if it were registered directly with its trademark office. The protection period is generally 10 years, with the possibility of renewal.

Managing and Enforcing International Trademarks

Renewing Your Trademark

Trademark registrations must be renewed periodically, typically every 10 years. The Madrid System allows you to manage renewals centrally, simplifying the process for multiple countries.

Monitoring and Enforcement

Regularly monitor the use of your trademark in international markets to detect unauthorized use or infringement. Take swift legal action against infringers to protect your brand’s integrity. Consider using trademark watch services and engaging local legal counsel for enforcement actions.

Licensing and Franchising

Consider licensing or franchising your trademark to third parties in foreign markets. This can provide additional revenue streams while expanding your brand’s presence. Ensure that license agreements are carefully drafted to protect your trademark rights and maintain quality control.

Tips for Successful International Trademark Registration

Seek Professional Assistance

Trademark registration, especially internationally, can be complex. Engage experienced trademark attorneys or agents who specialize in international trademark law to navigate the process effectively.

Plan Ahead

Trademark registration can take time, often several months to years. Plan your registration strategy well in advance of entering new markets to ensure your brand is protected when you launch.

Be Consistent

Maintain consistency in your trademark usage across all markets. This includes using the same logo, slogan, and brand name. Consistent usage strengthens your brand identity and legal protection.

Understand Cultural Differences

Be aware of cultural differences and language translations that may affect your trademark. Ensure that your trademark does not have unintended negative connotations in different languages or cultures.

Keep Records

Maintain comprehensive records of your trademark registrations, renewals, and enforcement actions. This documentation is vital for managing your trademark portfolio and defending your rights.

Final Words

Expanding your brand globally presents tremendous opportunities for growth and increased market presence. However, it also requires meticulous planning and proactive measures to protect your brand identity. International trademark registration is a critical step in this process, safeguarding your brand from infringement and ensuring legal protection in foreign markets.

By conducting thorough trademark searches, understanding the various pathways to registration, and effectively managing your trademarks, you can navigate the complexities of international trademark registration with confidence. Seek professional assistance, plan, and stay vigilant in monitoring and enforcing your trademark rights. With the right strategy, your brand can thrive on the global stage, enjoying the benefits of expanded reach and recognition.

Embark on your journey of global expansion with the assurance that your brand is well-protected, paving the way for sustained success and growth in the international arena.
