What is deceptive similarity?
A mark is said to be deceptively similar to another mark if it so nearly resembles the other mark as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion. With the growth of a business and the reputation in its brand value, the trademark right is often vulnerable to be infringed by the way of creation of marks by other traders seeking to confuse consumers and make use of the goodwill of the established trademark.
