Mark includes

Section 2(1)(m) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 defines 'mark' to include a device, brand, heading, label, ticket, name, signature, word, letter, numeral, shape of goods, packaging or combination of colours. A signature is expressly listed. A design is protected separately under the Designs Act, 2000, literature is a subject of copyright, and goodwill is the reputation a mark protects, not a mark itself.
