Brand owned by TRUST or COMPANY

 If a brand is owned by soemone then it doesnt make any differnece whether its a company or trust or an individual.

It will get the priviledges as prescribed and allowed under respective IPR Act.

 i think u should refer trademark act. i m not sure as i dont deal with this. But that shoud b trademark act.

Yes. It's right.

Thanks

Actually my boss wants to know that if in future any dispute arises in relation to brand then will it make any difference that whether the brand is owned by private limited company or trust?

 See,

1. If the Brand is owned by trust and its being used by a Companny then there must b an assignment by trust to Company. In case of Charitable Trust u need to ensure that it is for the benefit of beneficiaries only.

2. If someone infringes the law and use this brand then the registered owner or assignee can take action.

3. Without assignment this brand can not b used by anyone except the registered owner.

Hi

Also want to know whether a Trust can own a BRAND or not?

 y not? If empowered to do so (through trust Deed/Resolution) and its for the ultimate benefit of Bebeficiaries.

Thank you very much Nirav for your quick reply.

Hope so my boss's query will be cleared now.

Thanks a lot.

 most welcome

Hi

Please tell me the following also:

1. if any dispute arises related to ownership of brand or some other dispute related to this, then to which authority dispute is reffered to?

2. If during pending registration of brand, any dispute arises related to it then what is the method to resolve it?

3. As already discussed, it does not matter whether the brand is owned by company or Trust. In case of dispute, if the brand is owned/applied by trust( Object-charitable purpose) then does it mean that while settling any dispute, the dispute resolving authority will give preference to Trust because of its charitable object. AM I RIGHT?
