Well Known trademarks list made available on the Indian Trademark Office website
The Trademark office has been involved in a lot of significant and crucial changes to the trademark office function and the availability of information to public online which includes providing trademark examination reports, registration certificates and fee receipts online; free trademark searches amongst others.
Another important piece of information which has now been made available on the trademark website includes the list of well known trademarks in India. According to the Trade Marks Act, 1999, determination of whether a trademark is well known or not can be made by the Registrar of Trademarks in accordance with Section 11 (6) of the Act. The list provided by the trademark office seems to be in accordance with this section, however, no specific details for the selection of the list is mentioned on the website.

The evolution of Indian Trademark Office website is very welcome. The more information they provide and more user friendly they make their website, the better is would be for public and business housed.
This is an interesting list. Where on the IP India website did you find this information? Can you give me a link?
