What are the benefits of registering a trademark or copyright in India?

-

Registering a trademark or copyright in India provides the businesses and authors with legal protection and enhances commercial potential and supports the enforcement of IP rights. The key benefits of each IP right are:

Benefits of Registering a Trademark in India

Trademark registration grants the owner exclusive rights over the use of the mark. Such exclusive rights over the use of the mark allows the owner to prevent others from using a same or a similar mark which can cause confusion among members of trade and public. Such unauthorized use of the mark by other parties result in monetary loss and damages the reputation of the owner's business if the goods or services provided by the infringing party are of inferior quality.

Registration of a trademark provides the trademark owner with a right to enforce the trademark rights through legal proceedings in case of infringement.



Benefits of Registering a Copyright in India

In India, although it is not essential to register a Work in order to get copyright protection because when an original Work is completed, it is instantly protected by Copyright, however; registering a work provides the author with prima facie evidence which helps the author in proving his ownership in case of infringement. This helps the copyright holder to take legal action against unauthorized use or infringement of the work without any obstacles.
