Summary/Abstract: India is one of the few countries in the world with a definition of "well -known" in its national trademark law. India is also one of the last countries to ratify the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property. What are the legal and economic reasons for India to opt for a legislative approach for prior administrative registration of 'well-known' trademarks, given that the countries of the European Union abandoned this legal institution in their laws a decade ago?
