Copyright Act, 1957

Section 50
Copyright Rules, 1958
Rule 16 read with Form IV
Held: It is now well settled that mechanism envisaged under rule 16, read with Form TV, of the Copyright Rules, 1958 as further strengthened through amendment in 1992 envisage a protection of infrastructure which is in substitution of publication of application and right to opposition provided under the Trade Marks law since ages. Courts have repeatedly held that in matter of disputes relating to labels, marks, etc., it is not that issues relating to the rights of the private persons are only involved. Public at large has a stake in these issues. For that reason, maintenance of the purity of register is emphasized time and again.
