Trademark Case Study
A Coimbatore entrepreneur filed for “RAW SKINN” in Class 3 for soaps, body butter, and scrubs. The Registrar refused under Section 9(1)(b), calling it descriptive. The Madras High Court set the order aside, holding the mark is suggestive rather than descriptive — and that the Registrar had failed to engage with the applicant’s arguments at all.
