Permitted Use :

Section 2(1) (r) defines the term “permitted use”, in relation to a registered trade mark, as to mean the use of trade mark-

(i) by a registered user of the trade mark in relation to goods or services –

(a) with which he is connected in the course of trade; and

(b) in respect of which the trade mark remains registered for the time being; and

(c) for which he is registered as registered user; and

(d) which complies with any conditions or limitations to which the registration of registered user is subject; or

(ii) by a person other than the registered proprietor and registered user in relation to goods or services

(a) with which he is connected in the course of trade; and

(b) in respect of which the trade mark remains registered for the time being; and

(c) by consent of such registered proprietor in a written agreement; and

(d) which complies with any conditions or limitations to which such user is subject and to which the registration of the trade mark is subject.

The definition of “Tribunal” under Section 2(1)(ze) has been modified to include “Appellate Board” in place of “High Court”. The word “High Court” has been deleted consequent to the provision to constitute Appellate Board in lieu of High Court, for appeals.
