Transfer of 22 self-generated registered trademarks was held to be a transfer of intangible assets distinct from goodwill, so proceeds did not attract capital gains computation under sections 48 and 55 because no ascertainable cost of acquisition existed; the 2001 amendment to the definition of cost of acquisition for trademarks was held prospective from 01.04.2002 and inapplicable.
