It is a case of infringement of copy right. File suit for permanent and mandatory injunction and damages.
DEAR SIR,
Even without registration, protection exists if:
You were using the brand first
Your brand has goodwill/reputation
The other party is misleading customers
Example:
Local shop copying a known business name/logo to gain customers
Under Sections 103 & 104 of Trade Marks Act:
Police complaint
Seizure of goods
Imprisonment up to 3 years
Fine up to ₹2 lakhs
(Used in counterfeiting, fake brands, duplicate goods)
