Abstract

Every individual on this planet has various rights over their property, be it immovable or movable. Similarly, there are some legal protections given to intellectual property like inventions, logos, symbols, designs, etc., and offenders who violate the owner’s rights by copying them face consequences. In this paper, we covered the infringement of the rights of the owner of a trademark, one of the intellectual properties. Sometimes, the defendant does not exactly copy the work of the owner but creates a similar product that resembles the former or the original product, which means deceptive similarity. In this paper, we discussed the meaning of deceptive similarity, how we can test for trademark infringement, and some judicial interpretations.
