IPR-CWGAMES 2 LAST

Singh, who also heads the Central Association of
Private Security Industry, said the trademark violation is an
area of concern for the organisers of such huge events.

"A delegation of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014
had even come down here and inquired about the IPR violations
and their remedial measures," Singh said.
The Organising Committee (OC) of the CWG, in a public
notice issued earlier had said, "it has recently come to our
notice that some organisations/persons who are not authorised
are using these marks (official CWG logos) in respect of their
products and services. These unscrupulous organisations and
persons are thus cashing in on the goodwill and reputation of
OC of CWG Delhi 2010 besides diluting the brand equity
attached to these marks.
Any person indulging in unlawful use of the mentioned
marks and any unscrupulous organisation/person who fails to
desist from using the trademarks... and continues to conduct
business... will be dealt with...," it added.
According to experts, money spinning events like the
CWG are prone to such intellectual data theft as the
activities are spread over countries and fetch revenues worth
crores.
Fake bags, stationery, replicas and even merchandise
are flooded in the markets before the start and during the
games, they said. PTI NES
