Arjun, an Ahmedabad-based textile exporter, launched his brand in Dubai. Success was immediate, with overwhelming demand and distributor interest. However, another company soon began selling products under his brand name. Arjun quickly discovered they had registered his brand locally, turning a triumph into a legal battle. His Indian trademark Registration offered no protection in Dubai. This highlights a crtical lesson, securing the brand at home is insufficient for global trade. International markets demand international trademark filings as well.
