Chapter 10: The Trade Marks Act, 1999

Sections 79 & 80: [Omitted]

What it means: You asked to review Sections 79 and 80, which were part of Chapter X – Special Provisions for Textile Goods.

  • Status: This entire chapter, including Sections 79, 80, 81, and 82, was omitted (repealed) from the Act by the Trade Marks (Amendment) Act, 2010.
  • Plain English: These sections no longer exist in the law. They used to contain special, complex rules that applied only to textile goods, but the government removed them to simplify the law and treat textiles like all other goods.
  • Practical Effect: There are no provisions to analyze for Sections 79 and 80, as they are no longer in force.

Sections 81 & 82: [Omitted]

  • Section 81. [Stamping of piece goods, cotton yarn and thread.] Omitted.
  • Section 82. [Determination of character of textile goods by sampling.] Omitted.

What it means: Just like Sections 79 and 80, Sections 81 and 82 were part of a special chapter that applied only to textile goods. This entire chapter was omitted (repealed) from the Act by the Trade Marks (Amendment) Act, 2010.

Plain English: These sections no longer exist in the law. They used to contain highly specific rules for how textile products like cotton yarn and fabric had to be stamped and sampled. The government removed them to simplify the law and treat textiles the same as all other goods.

Practical Effect: There are no provisions to analyze for these sections as they are no longer in force.
