Abstract
The issue of parallel imports with respect to the Indian Copyright Law involves an interplay of the three doctrines of distribution rights of the copyright owner, the hypothetical manufacture test and the divisibility of copyright. This article examines the statutory provisions involving these doctrines and seeks to explain the scope of these doctrines from a historical and geographical perspective. It also seeks to analyse various judgments incorporating these doctrines. Also the article briefly looks at the various long arm tactics adopted to prevent parallel imports and their legal validity in the context of Indian Law.
