Context matters.<BR/>Trade mark law is not about owning just the signifiers, but the whole shebang along with referents and signifieds as anchors. They can have the tea cake and you can eat it too!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568631770901841239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-4383514138684779002009-02-16T11:58:00.000+00:002009-02-16T11:58:00.000+00:00Write a very nice letter to the teacake people sug...Write a very nice letter to the teacake people suggesting that maybe they could produce teacakes which suck a little less ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-35540379275502779172009-02-16T05:07:00.000+00:002009-02-16T05:07:00.000+00:00I think that goods of different classes should not...I think that goods of different classes should not have the same trade name as this can be confusing to the customer. I do think that there will arise many situations with same TM for different categories of goods which can impair the goodwill of the other. I beleive that the Indian courts are now-a-days trying to protect famous trade names even if they are for a dfferent class of goods. I wonder what happens if 2 famous goods X and Y with same trade marks A in 2 different categories of goods are exported from one country to other as export of X to country of origin of Y. In case of litigation, what does the court decide?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-73059473732765691802009-02-14T22:02:00.000+00:002009-02-14T22:02:00.000+00:00A teacake is not a tea cake.
