Article Details
After a few remarkable non-conventional
trademarks like Sound Mark, the chances of recognition by law on Smell Mark as
a legitimate one is yet to be encouraged and developed. Scented stick and
perfume oil fragrances, Sandalwood may one day be recognised as trademarks and
Indian law is forced to embrace the need for different forms of
non-conventional marks to strengthen the recognition of smell marks, sound
marks, combination of colors etc. Currently, Indian
trademark law prohibits the registration of Smell as trademarks. Graphical representation rigidity can be reassessed.
Moreover, alternate techniques of description might introduce a variety of
non-conventional trademarks. Law can be specific about the
definition of non-conventional marks and criteria to qualify for its
registration. Even the International Conventions have to take steps for the
developments in the area of n0n-conventional marks.
