We at SimranLaw, began our strategic approach understanding the nuances of the Indian legal framework and customs regulations. Our deep understanding of these laws, along with our expertise in intellectual property law, allowed us to craft an effective legal strategy. We highlighted the provisions under the Trademarks Act, Copyright Act and Customs Act, which specifically target counterfeiting and infringement of intellectual property rights.

Litigation Process

We represented our client in the courts, presenting a strong case of counterfeiting. We produced compelling evidence such as market surveys, counterfeit samples, and comparisons between original and fake products. The courts were shown how these counterfeit products not only infringed on our client’s rights but also deceived consumers and tarnished the brand’s reputation.

They issued prohibitory orders against the counterfeiters, stopping them from manufacturing, selling or advertising any products infringing on our client’s trademarks or copyrights. Additionally, the Courts directed Indian Customs to seize any imported goods bearing the trademark of our client.
