MH SET - 2023, SET Exam - 2023,
Answer: C
The one that is not an unfair trade practice is labelling the product with confusing combination of deceptively similar trademark.
The definition of unfair trade practice in the Consumer Protection Act includes falsely representing that goods have a sponsorship, approval, performance, characteristics, uses or benefits they do not have; making false or misleading representations about the need for or usefulness of goods; and giving a warranty or guarantee of performance or life of a product not based on adequate or proper test. These are options A, B and D.
Using a mark deceptively similar to another's is dealt with as infringement or passing off under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, not in that list.
