But then why the delay?
Having given away those bouquets, it has to be pointed out that these notifications had to be amended in 1999, when the Trade Marks Act replaced the Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958. There has been a delay of 8 years. But as they say “better late than never”
And the most unfortunate part is that these new notifications are all dated 8th May 2007, but have been published only yesterday. What were they doing for ten long days? The notification manufacturing process in the Board suffers from some serious defects which needs immediate correction, but as today’s DDT is unusually long, on that some other time.
