Abstract

The developing country like India must provide greater emphasis on enforcement of Trade Mark and Patent in agricultural value added products. The Trade Mark relating to product, the grant provides exclusive right to prevent unauthorized persons from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing the product in India. In case of Patents relating to process, the patentee receives an exclusive right to prevent unauthorized persons from using the process and offering for sale, selling or importing for those purposes the product obtained directly from the process in India. Product produced by the process is also to be protected. An adequate trademark system is very important to consumers in developing countries, because it permits these consumers to rely on a particular standard of quality associated with the trademark and identify the origin of the trademarked goods, rather than having no means of distinguishing goods from different sources. Hence, the present study is to attempt the trademark and patents practice among the farmers. The outcomes of the importance given to the timing of marketing the produce and implementation of value addition, the significance difference among the farmers have been identified.
