https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=242468 Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act, 1957 provides an additional forum for copyright claims, but it cannot be used to confer territorial jurisdiction over a separate trade mark cause of action when the court otherwise lacks competence for that claim. A composite suit is maintainable only if the court has jurisdiction over all connected causes of action; simply joining copyright and trade mark claims does not enlarge jurisdiction. The later Trade Marks Act, 1999 did not alter the position for a suit filed earlier under the 1958 law, though amendment of the plaint was permitted to avoid multiplicity of proceedings and preserve the properly maintainable copyright claim. en-us Fri, 29 Nov 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 09:50:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=242468 Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act, 1957 provides an additional forum for copyright claims, but it cannot be used to confer territorial jurisdiction over a separate trade mark cause of action when the court otherwise lacks competence for that claim.
