Imperfect Recollections tells the story of Indian trade mark law through Supreme Court cases.

Narrating nearly one hundred key Supreme Court cases since 1951, Imperfect Recollections covers subjects such as the inquiries into similarity and distinctiveness, jurisdiction, rectification actions, prior use, honest concurrent use, limitations on trade mark registrations, delay and acquiescence, criminal actions and interim injunctions under Indian trade mark law.
