Why Shivpuri Businesses Must Register Their Trademark
Shivpuri district, headquartered in the Gwalior division, supports a diverse economy spanning agriculture, agro-processing, active trade, and tourism centred on Madhav National Park. Without registration under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, a brand mark holds no statutory standing before the Trademarks Registry.
Unregistered marks carry common law passing off rights, but enforcement demands independent proof of prior use, goodwill, and damage in each action. Registration removes that burden: a registered trademark is prima facie proof of ownership, enforceable from the date it appears on the Register.
