TESTIMONIALS
“The latest edition carries forward, consistently and eloquently, the tradition of the highest standards of authorship set by earlier editions. The succinct insertions about important changes to the trademark statute, rules and summaries of legal interpretations of relevant issues by the IPAB and courts in India and abroad further improves its usefulness for students, scholars, agents, lawyers, other practitioners, judicial functionaries and researchers of Indian trademark law and practice. A must-have sourcebook.”

“Dr Venkateswaran’s contribution in the establishment of statute law on trade marks in India is well known…on account of his pioneering work through his first edition of this book…Since then, much has happened in the field of IPR. India’s accession to major international agreements, such as Paris Convention, TRIPS Agreement and Madrid Protocol has led to harmonization of the Indian law on trade marks in a global trade and business environment. The latest edition of this book, the revision of which is done by Mr K C Kailasam, who was involved as the Senior Joint Registrar of Trade Marks at the official level in the trade marks law reform and during the critical stage of the evolution of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 significantly adds value to the new edition.”
