Counterfeiting a property mark used by another

Counterfeiting any property mark used by someone else is an offence. It applies when a person makes or uses a mark that belongs to another to represent the other person’s goods or property. Punishment is imprisonment for up to two years, or a fine, or both.

Rohan runs a small spice brand. He copies the stamped logo that Aditya uses on his packets and puts the same mark on Rohan’s packets to pass them off as Aditya’s. Rohan has counterfeited another person’s property mark and may face up to two years’ imprisonment, or a fine, or both.
