https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=161339 Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act creates a special additional forum for copyright proceedings at the plaintiff's place of residence or business, but that forum is confined to copyright claims and cannot be extended to an independent passing off cause of action. Order II Rule 3 of the Code permits joinder of causes of action, yet it does not confer territorial jurisdiction where none otherwise exists. Section 55(1) of the Copyright Act concerns remedies for infringement and incidental powers in copyright matters; it does not authorise clubbing a separate trade mark-based passing off claim with the copyright claim to create jurisdiction. A composite suit cannot therefore sustain territorial competence for the passing off claim before the chosen court. en-us Fri, 16 May 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 10:23:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=161339 Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act creates a special additional forum for copyright proceedings at the plaintiff's place of residence or business, but that forum is confined to copyright claims and cannot be extended to an independent passing off cause of action.
