https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=161341 Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act, 1957 creates an forum only for copyright actions based on the plaintiff's actual residence, business, or work, and it cannot be used to pull trademark or passing off claims into a court that otherwise lacks territorial jurisdiction under Section 20 CPC. Joinder of causes of action under Order II Rule 3 does not confer jurisdiction for those non-copyright claims. The filing of a trade mark registration application, or its publication in the Trade Marks Journal, does not by itself form part of the cause of action; territorial nexus must arise from actual infringement, threatened use, or other actionable facts. Territorial jurisdiction must therefore be tested on the pleaded cause of action under each statute. en-us Thu, 15 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 10:44:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=161341 Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act, 1957 creates an forum only for copyright actions based on the plaintiff's actual residence, business, or work, and it cannot be used to pull trademark or passing off claims into a court that otherwise lacks territorial jurisdiction under Section 20 CPC.
