Ananda Intellectual Property

Happy to share our latest article on IP Litigation in Thailand - Key considerations.

IP Litigation in Thailand for Foreign Companies: Key Considerations in 2026 Thailand is a high-risk jurisdiction for IP infringement, particularly counterfeiting and online misuse. Registration is only the first step.

Ananda Intellectual Property is pleased to share a significant victory for our team in a recent dispute before the Court of Appeal for Specialized Cases in .
In its decision of 25 February 2026, the Court overturned the judgment of the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court and ruled in favor of our client in a dispute concerning confusing similarity between device trademarks used for adhesive tape products.
The appellate court emphasized that trademark comparison must focus on the overall visual impression created by device marks, rather than relying solely on differences in wording.
Despite the different brand names, the Court held that the marks shared highly similar structural features, including a circular frame, internal graphical divisions, and colored bars, which together created a likelihood of confusion among consumers. The Court therefore confirmed that the opposed mark could not proceed to registration.
This decision provides important guidance on how Thai courts assess confusing similarity between device marks and reinforces the importance of protecting distinctive label designs.
Congratulations to our trademark team and our client on this important result. Kritchakorn Nimwenai Krit Sonsophon Hathaichanok Limpattanakul
