INFRINGEMENT OF TRADEMARK (REFER SOALAN TEST)

- 34 (2)
Under the Trademarks Act 2019, Section 34(2) refers to a defence available to an alleged infringer of a trademark. This particular provision states
that a person will not be held liable for trademark infringement if their use of a sign in relation to goods or services is in accordance with honest
practices in industrial or commercial matters.

This defence recognizes that there may be situations where the use of a sign like a registered trademark is permissible if it falls within the scope of
honest practices. However, it's crucial to note that the application and interpretation of this defence may vary depending on the specific jurisdiction
and the facts of each case.

It is advisable to consult with a qualified intellectual property attorney or legal professional familiar with the Trademarks Act in your jurisdiction for
accurate advice regarding a potential trademark infringement case under Section 34(2) of the Trademarks Act 2019.
