But the problem arises with the second condition that is an ultimate test for a hashtag to qualify as a Trademark. As per the Trademark law, it is not easy to achieve the second condition. A Trademark is a kind of source identifier and the hashtags which can fulfill this criterion can qualify for <span style=\"color: #003300;\">registration under the Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The absolute grounds of refusals are given and under the section 9 subsection (1) of the<span style=\"color: #003300;\"> Indian Trademark Act 1999 <\/span>states that:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Trademarks which are devoid of any distinctive character means not capable of distinguishing goods or services of one person from those of another shall not be registered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Analyzing the section, we can say that hashtags which are in distinctive nature can be registered as a Trademark under the Indian Trademarks Act,1999. Therefore, hashtags which can fully satisfy the two essentials that it is in a distinctive nature or have become distinctive within a period of time can be said to be qualified to be protected under the law.<\/p>\n<p>The distinctiveness contains the two things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inherent<\/li>\n<li>Acquired<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And yes, a hashtag falls under the above two categories. It may either be inherently distinctive in nature due to it being an invented word or it may be something that tends for a longer period of time such that the people start to identify the particular source through hashtag only. Moreover, it shall also be kept into the mind that applying a hashtag to a common word or generic word would not make it a trademark as putting a hashtag will not make it distinctive. The trademark needs to pass the test of distinctiveness of Trademark provided according to the Act.<\/p>\n<p>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/7-reasons-trademarks-important-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;7 reasons why trademarks are important to your business&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:8403901,&quot;3&quot;:[null,0],&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;6&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;7&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;8&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;10&quot;:2,&quot;11&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:[null,2,0],&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Calibri, sans-serif&quot;,&quot;16&quot;:11,&quot;26&quot;:400}\">7 reasons why trademarks are important to your business<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_place_a_Hashtag\"><\/span><em><strong>Where to place a Hashtag?<\/strong><\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can use before a number (like &#8220;#9&#8221;), the hashtag will be viewed as meaning number nine despite hashtag nine. Besides, if the hashtag symbol is separable from the other part of the hashtag then the company will likely have to disclaim the symbol (#INGENUITY) for business consultation services had to disclaim or not claim rights to the hashtags symbol.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_hashtag_can_be_dispositive_which_is_being_used\"><\/span><em><strong>How the hashtag can be dispositive which is being used?<\/strong><\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Hashtag is not protectable in terms of social media campaign or to index a social media message. If a company uses a hashtag in its social media or advertising material it doesn&#8217;t mean that it warrants trademark protection. It must be used like any other trademark which is an Intellectual Property to identify the source of a good or service.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_types_of_goods_and_services_identified_directly_affects_whether_the_hashtag_is_protectable\"><\/span><strong><em>What types of goods and services identified directly affects whether the hashtag is protectable?<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is hard to describe a hashtag merely with the underlying goods and services. For example: by using the hashtags #coffee for a coffee shop does not identify the source of the coffee but merely identifies the relevant product class. On another hand, &#8220;#Starbucks&#8221; specifies the source of coffee. Likewise, The slogan of Nike &#8220;Just do it&#8221; is still considered a trademark when it is hashtagged as #JustDoIt. In a nutshell, hashtags must be followed the same trademark rules as words and symbols that must signify a specific source of goods or services.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/starbucks-hashtag.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/starbucks-hashtag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/starbucks-hashtag-200x176.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/starbucks-hashtag-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/starbucks-hashtag-400x353.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/starbucks-hashtag.jpg 525w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6607-53830-1-PB.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14937 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6607-53830-1-PB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"387\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6607-53830-1-PB-200x128.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6607-53830-1-PB-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6607-53830-1-PB-400x255.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6607-53830-1-PB-460x295.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6607-53830-1-PB.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/blog\/consequences-trademark-infringement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Consequences for trademark infringement&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:8403901,&quot;3&quot;:[null,0],&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;6&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;7&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;8&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:[null,2,0]},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;10&quot;:2,&quot;11&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:[null,2,0],&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Calibri, sans-serif&quot;,&quot;16&quot;:11,&quot;26&quot;:400}\">Consequences for trademark infringement<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Risks_the_Rewards\"><\/span><em><strong>The Risks &amp; the Rewards<\/strong><\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With all the things required, the company should always remember the amount of time the hashtag will be valuable to the company.
