    Some of the key takeaways from the document are that it discusses intellectual property rights at the national level in India, including trademarks, patents, designs, geographical indications, and biodiversity laws.

    Some new features introduced in The Trademarks Act, 1999 include provisions related to well known trademarks, absolute grounds for refusal of registration, and appellate procedures.

    Relative grounds for refusal to register a trademark in India include deceptive similarity to an existing trademark and use of a mark that is already in concurrent use in the same territory for similar goods by another person.
