Legal Question in Intellectual Property in India

Even though the material or good is packed or repacked in your brand name, it is absolutely necessary that you should have some agreement with the manufacturer of the good for yiur action failing which you are liable for legal action by the manufacturer against you. If you have such an agreement then you can print the manufacturer's name in the lable showing marketted by you. In case you have no such agreement with the manufacturer, thenw you must quote the source from which you have obtained the good for avoiding any legal issues later.

Dear Akhil,

Commodities like rice, wheat, pulses, cereals and other agricultural produce including tea and coffee is a few cases is sold in bulk without any name detail of the producer / manufacturer. It is safe for you to pack these items with your Company name and address under the heading "Marketed by".

You need to elucidate, whether the product is manufactured by the manufacture under your license? What is the product? Is it a pharmaceutical product? Edible item? Machinery? Equipment? In each case; i.e. who owns the brand name, right to manufacture etc.; will determine whether you need to put on the name of manufacturer or not.

Information provided by you is not adequate to advise.
