FAQ :

The ICAI is demanding compensation of £1 crore and an unconditional apology to be published in a national newspaper within 15 days.

The ICAI is taking this action to protect its intellectual property, specifically its registered trademark, the CA Logo, from unauthorised and illegal usage.

Apart from financial compensation, infringers may face legal orders to cease using the logo, destroy products with the unauthorised mark, and in severe cases, criminal prosecution.

The ICAI logo was reportedly used without authorisation on a line of shoes.

The CA logo holds significant value and represents the expertise and credibility of chartered accountants.
