Protecting Official Insignia

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade has issued a strict advisory regarding the Indian Patent Office logo, clarifying that its unauthorized use is prohibited. The government highlighted that the logo is a protected emblem under the Emblems and Names Act.
