THE TRADEMARK IS A 
STEREOTYPES
• The trademark is registered or not? These questions 
may come under the UK Act corresponding to the 
section 34 of the Act.  After that it will discuss 
seriously. And it also considered being as a serious 
issues.
• Conversely, The registration of the trademark may 
not affect the use of other traders in their good’s 
descriptions. Thus, the court asks themselves that 
the registration cause any substantial difficulty?
• Or it causes anyone’s trade or market difficult? After 
getting these answers only the court will takes the 
particular actions about the registration of 
trademarks.
IF THE ANSWER IS NEGATIVE THE COURT 
CONFINES TO FOLLOW UP THE PROCEDURES.
• This gets approval in W&G case by Lord Shaw.
• According to section 34 the arguments to the 
right of the logo from other traders protects and 
there is right to oppose the objection of the 
registration.
• It may cause the breaking of legitimate rights of 
other traders. The arguments from other traders 
also get double edge.
• Take an example; the word gramophone is using 
by the trade person who sold their goods.

DESIGN AND THE TRADE MARKS
• The design is a particular visual representation as 
described in the Designs Act,2002 is appear in 
the goods not in the trademark as mentioned o 
Trademarks Act, 1999.
• The same thing cannot register as both 
trademark and design. If the item is registering 
under the design and after it gets expire it can 
apply as trademark.
LIMITATION AS TO COLOUR IN STEREOTYPES
•  Here these cases the subject is not a matter. The 
subject of the application was capable of being 
registering as a design.
• The design is the part of the goods and the 
trademark is the one which denotes the identity 
and origin of goods.
• The mark is capable to the limitations of colour or 
without such colour limitations.
• The specification limitations are applicable to the 
mark or otherwise make disqualifications for 
Registration 
REGISTRATION FOR EXPORT 
MARKETS
• The export basis trademarks are registering in Part B under the old law.
• The evidence is getting from the traders of worldwide to show that 
the logo is distinctive of the applicant’s goods for exporting.
• Thus the exporting market does not considered as the whole but must 
considered as a separate markets.
• To get the trademark registration in abroad we need the home 
registration documents and no distinction is making between the Part A 
and Part B registration.
• The certificate of Part B is enough to meet all the requirements.  Under 
the Madrid System the application in the home country is adequate for 
making an application for the international registration of marks.
• The mark registration in the home country is winding up under the 
Madrid agreement not under the Madrid protocol. The registers of 
trademarks are in two parts Part A and Part B. with unique legal rights 
under the 1958 Act.
RIGHTS GAINED BY 
TRADEMARKS STEREOTYPES 
THAT ARE ALREADY REGISTERED IN PART B
REGISTRATION CRITERIA
• The registration criteria for part B are comparatively 
less. The new law 1999 is abolish the two part 
Stereotypes registration system and keeping only 
one registration with same level of requirements to 
enhance the easy trademark registration.
• The register of the trademark under the section 6(7) 
has been incorporates to the new Act. The part A 
and the part B register is merging into a single 
register and the statutory rights conferred by 
formation in respect of part B.  At present all the 
trade marks have same legal rights.
ONUS
• Both stages of the application and the opposition 
proceedings, the onus is one of the application to 
reveal that the logo is good enough to describe the 
product’s quality. There is no difference in the Part A 
and the Part B application.
• The invoice copies and bills are reveals that the 
goods are under trademark. The goods 
specifications and its trademark all should 
described in the bill. Neither the relation between 
two cannot infer. The volume of sale has to be 
considered with the reference to the nature of the 
goods and spectrum of consumers.
GROUND FOR STEREOTYPES REFUSAL
• The difference between the two enactments is the 
absolute ground for refusal. The confusion rose from 
the similarity or in difference between the proposed 
mark and the existing logo. 
• The section 9(2)(a) is concerned with the nature of 
the mark by the reason of something fundamental in 
the mark or its use, or its quality or its geographical 
origin of the goods and service.
•  The mark may handle the misrepresentation of the 
goods or services. Misleading use also defined the 
mark contains false or misleading matter or mark 
which are used in the deceitful trade.

REFUSAL OF THE MARK IF IT’S HURT THE RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS
• The common trade practice in India is to use the name 
and pictures of the Gods or goddess or religious heads as 
mark Stereotypes . The section 9(2)(b) fully prohibit these 
types of activities against these activities.

violates the religious sentiments of people and the public

ministry of Agricultural and Cooperation.  If any name starting with 
Indian Council may mislead the public that are patronized by the 
Government.
THE NATURE OF THE GOODS AND THE CLASSES OF THE CUSTOMERS ARE TO CONSIDER
• The expressive nature of the goods or services 
has to consider in relation to the services and 
goods relations. The classes of the customers are 
also considering in these cases. 
• Because peoples are buy the goods on different 
categories and general public. The word of
