Trademark Infringement in Foreign Jurisdictions
ipr clat_pg intermediate internship_learnMain difference between Indian and US trademark laws is that in US, one doesn't need the mark to be identical to the original to be considered infringement, rather the marks need to be "confusingly similar." This was a major takeaway during my internship with a law firm that dealt with trademark disputes. They were handling a case where an Indian company was accused of trademark infringement in the US, and the Indian company's logo was slightly different from the US company's but the same product was being sold. The lawyer explained that even if the marks are not identical, if they're confusingly similar and likely to cause confusion among consumers, it can still be considered trademark infringement according to US law.
