Criminal Nature and Enforcement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"copyright-enforcement\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Copyright_Act_1957\"><\/span>Copyright Act, 1957<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Under <strong>Sections 63\u201370<\/strong>, copyright infringement constitutes a <strong>cognizable and non-bailable offence<\/strong>. The <strong>police can register an FIR and investigate without prior approval of the court or any other authority<\/strong>. This makes copyright enforcement the most police-active among IPR domains.<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>Section 64(1)<\/strong> of this Act, only a <strong>police officer of the rank of Sub-Inspector or above<\/strong> is authorized to conduct <strong>search and seizure<\/strong>. This implies that an officer below the rank of Sub-Inspector <strong>cannot conduct an investigation<\/strong> under this Act, as search and seizure form an <strong>essential part of the investigation process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Case Law:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In <strong>State v. Naresh Kumar (Delhi High Court, 2014)<\/strong>, the court upheld that the police have the power to register an FIR and investigate copyright infringement without prior sanction since such offences are cognizable under the Act.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"trademark-enforcement\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trade_Marks_Act_1999\"><\/span>Trade Marks Act, 1999<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sections 103\u2013105<\/strong> of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, establish trademark infringement and counterfeiting as cognizable criminal offenses, authorizing police action. Critically, <strong>Section 115(4)<\/strong> restricts this power, mandating that search and seizure operations conducted without a warrant must be executed by an officer no lower than a <strong>Deputy Superintendent of Police (Dy. SP)<\/strong> and are strictly conditional upon obtaining the written technical opinion of the Registrar of Trade Marks, thus ensuring specialized oversight and preventing misuse of police authority.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Case Law:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Dabur India Ltd. v. Rajesh Kumar (2008)<\/strong>, the Delhi High Court clarified that while FIRs can be registered in trademark cases, <strong>searches or seizures cannot be conducted without the Registrar\u2019s written authorization.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"patent-enforcement\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patents_Act_1970\"><\/span>Patents Act, 1970<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Patents Act, 1970, focuses primarily on civil remedies, with limited criminal offenses created under <strong>Sections 118 and 120<\/strong>, such as the <strong>unauthorized use of patent titles or falsification of entries<\/strong>. Since these offenses are generally non-cognizable, the police cannot register a First Information Report (FIR) or make an arrest without a magistrate\u2019s order. As no minimum police rank is specified in the Act, these investigations typically fall under the general provisions of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), previously Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC), allowing officers of the rank of Sub-Inspector or above to be assigned for investigation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Case Law:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"\/legal\/article-3886-analysis-on-tvs-motor-company-limited-v-s-bajaj-auto-limited-2009-supreme-court.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>TVS Motor Co.
