Question

Original X company sells its product under the name 'Phido'. Company Y begins to market an identical product under the name 'Fido'. This is a case of:

• A. \( \text{Copyright infringement} \)
• B. \( \text{Patent infringement} \)
• C. \( \text{Trademark infringement} \)
• D. \( \text{None of the above} \)

Hint:

Strong trademark protection ensures brand identity and prevents market confusion among consumers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Trademark infringement occurs when a company uses a name, logo, or branding similar to an existing registered trademark, leading to consumer confusion. In this case, "Fido" resembles "Phido," potentially misleading customers into believing the products originate from the same brand. Trademark laws protect companies from unauthorized usage of their distinctive marks.
