Course Structure
Module 1 – Introduction to Trade Marks
In this module, you will learn in-depth about the basics of Trademarks, the kinds of trademarks, distinctiveness, and the types of applications filed to protect the trademarks in India.

When a distinctive Mark has been selected, a trademark clearance search should be carried out to check if the mark is available for filing or not.

Module 3 – Registered and Unregistered Trademarks
In this module, we will be learning about the importance of the registration of Trademarks in India. We will also be looking at the concept of Passing off which can be used to enforce unregistered trademark rights.
