Yes, the Indian Trademark Law extends extra-ordinary protection to
well-known marks in India. The Trademark Act, 1999 defines well-known
trademarks and the Indian Judiciary in plethora of cases has granted protection
to well-known marks like granting of exparte-injunction and protecting
unregistered marks in India. Reference can be made to the cases of Daimler Benz Akietgesellschaft v Hybo
Hindustan, Whirlpool Co & Anr v. N R Dongre, Rolex Sa vs Alex Jewellery Pvt
Ltd & Ors.
A list entailing well-known trademarks is also available at the
Registry’s website at http://ipindiaservices.gov.in/tmrpublicsearch/wellknownmarks.aspx.
