Acts & Sections

Acts and sections form the backbone of legal systems, defining the rules, rights, and responsibilities that govern society. An Act is a formal legal document passed by a legislative body, such as a Parliament or Congress, which establishes laws on specific subjects. For example, the Trademarks Act, 1999 governs trademark laws in India.
Each Act is divided into sections, which are smaller units addressing specific provisions or rules within the Act. For instance, Section 2 of the Trademarks Act, 1999 defines key terms related to trademarks, such as “mark” and “registered trademark.”
Sections ensure clarity and accessibility by breaking down complex legal principles into precise, actionable rules. Together, Acts and sections provide the framework needed to enforce laws, protect rights, and maintain order in society.
